"I would like to express my gratitude to the four scholars who have received the prestigious Balzan Prize. Beyond the apparent distance between the fields of their research, there is a common thread that unites them: the value of scientific research, the advancement of knowledge, and the well-being of humanity. In this historical period, this message is of great importance and is precious. I am pleased that this message was emphasized in the Quirinale Palace." This was underscored by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, speaking at the #Quirinale during the #BalzanPrize ceremony. This year’s recipients were John Braithwaite (Australia) for Restorative Justice, Lorraine Daston (Germany/USA) for the History of Modern and Contemporary Science, Michael N. Hall (Switzerland/USA) for Biological Mechanisms of Aging, and Omar Yaghi (USA) for Nanoporous Materials for Environmental Applications. The ceremony was opened by the Presidents of the Balzan International Foundation 'Prize' Maria Cristina Messa and 'Fund' Gisele Girgis-Musy. The winners were awarded by Marta Cartabia, President of the Balzan Prize General Committee.

The Balzan Foundation promotes culture, sciences, initiatives of peace and fraternity among peoples throughout the world
Chi siamo
The International Balzan Foundation was created in 1957 to recognize the most outstanding initiatives of peace and brotherhood among peoples and foster their growth in the scientific and cultural world. The main objective of the Foundation is to award the Balzan Prize. The Balzan Prizes are assigned by the General Prize Committee, a body working within the “Prize” Foundation in Milan. It is comprised of twenty members of the most prestigious learned societies from all over Europe. Each year, the General Prize Committee establishes the subject areas for the awards and chooses the winners from among the nominations entered by the world’s most important international cultural institutions at the Foundation’s request, and by leading figures whom the General Prize Committee recognizes as competent in the chosen fields for that year. Every year, the four Balzan Prizes are awarded to scholars and scientists who are distinguished in their fields on an international level. The aim of the Balzan prizes is to foster culture, the sciences and the most outstanding humanitarian initiatives of peace and brotherhood among peoples, regardless of nationality, race or creed. The four subject areas for the awards change every year. They are selected from among “literature, the moral sciences and the arts” and “the physical, mathematical and natural sciences and medicine”. Rotating the subjects ensures that new or emerging research gets recognition, while at the same time it supports important fields of study that may have been overlooked by other great international awards. Since 2001 the General Prize Committee have established a stipulation that Prizewinners must destine half of the Prize they receive for financing research projects that are preferably carried out by young scholars or scientists.

We would like to honor Wallace Broecker, recipient of the 2008 Balzan Prize for the Science of Climate Change, for his pioneering contributions to climate change research. Broecker's innovative studies revealed the critical importance of the oceans and their atmospheric interactions, along with the significant role of glacial changes and the invaluable records preserved in ice cores and ocean sediments. His work has been instrumental in advancing the scientific community's understanding of both gradual and abrupt climate changes, offering deeper insights into Earth's complex climate systems. #BalzanPrize #WallaceBroecker #ClimateChange #OceanScience #ClimateResearch #BalzanFoundation #EarthScience

Today, we honor the legacy of Jean Rivero, recipient of the 1986 Balzan Prize for Basic Human Rights. A renowned Master of Jurisprudence, Jean Rivero made invaluable contributions to the protection of individual rights through his scholarly work. His extensive research laid the foundation for a judicial system that upholds human rights while respecting the unique constitutional frameworks of different nations. Rivero’s pioneering work established a general theory connecting human rights and civil liberties, paving the way for the development of robust national and international legal protections. On this important day, we reflect on his lasting impact on human rights and the ongoing struggle to safeguard fundamental freedoms. #WorldDayAgainstTheDeathPenalty #BalzanPrize #HumanRights #JeanRivero #CivilLiberties #LegalProtections #BalzanFoundation

We are honoured to share an important moment for the scientific community in conjunction with the announcement of the 2024 Balzan Prizes: the Lectio Magistralis by Professor Jean-Jacques Hublin, one of the foremost experts on the evolution of Homo sapiens and recipient of the 2023 Balzan Prize for Evolution of Humankind: Paleoanthropology. During his insightful lecture, Professor Hublin explored the pivotal factors that enabled Homo sapiens to replace Neanderthals in Europe. His pioneering research offers new perspectives on the diversity of early human populations, their survival strategies, and interactions with other hominin species. We extend our sincere thanks to Professor Hublin for this remarkable contribution to the understanding of human evolution.
