Description

The Rey Jaime I Awards were created in 1989 to promote scientific development in Spain while encouraging collaboration among scientific and business enterprises.^[1] They recognize achievements in research and entrepreneurship. Each award includes 100,000 euros and a gold medal as well as a diploma. Awards are given for high-quality work done in Spain, by candidates who live in Spain or have done most of their research work in Spain.^[2]

The awards are granted by the Fundación Rei Jaume I, whose honorary president is the King of Spain Felipe VI.^[3]^[4] The Fundación Rei Jaume I was created in 1989 by the Valencian Government and the Valencian Foundation for Advanced Studies, who organize and promote the awards.^[5]

The award was first given only in the "Basic Research" area. Later, more areas have been added such as: Basic Research, Economy, Medical Research, Environmental Protection, New Technologies, Urbanism, Landscape and Sustainability and Entrepreneurship.^[1]

Juries awarding the prize typically include several Nobel Laureates, who travel to Valencia to take part in the deliberations.^[2]^[6]
