Each prize (one per category) will have a cash prize of 2,500 euros, with the possibility of declaring a category vacant if there are no suitable candidates.
The awards are open to women scientists of Spanish nationality, as well as foreign women whose professional careers have been developed mainly in Spain and who will be 45 years old or younger in September 2024. Candidates must have made outstanding contributions to science, whether in research, development, innovation or teaching.
