Competitions
CAF-Elhuyar Awards
The CAF-Elhuyar Award was set up on the initiative of the company CAF and Elhuyar in 1994. The awards were instituted to popularise science subjects in Basque and to encourage new writers.
As the communication of science is one of the aims of the Elhuyar Foundation, the awards set out to promote the spreading of science and technology subjects in Basque.
During the 15 years of its existence about 250 pieces of work have been entered for the competitions, 60 awards have been given, and the publishing of six popular science books in Basque has been sponsored.
The new CAF-Elhuyar Awards of Elhuyar are based on the previous CAF-Elhuyar Awards and the Basque Research Thesis Awards. The CAF-Elhuyar Awards were set up to popularise science subjects in Basque, and in particular, to promote new writers. And the Thesis Awards were designed to make known the work of young Basque researchers. These two prizes have been brought together within the new CAF-Elhuyar Awards, and two new spheres have been opened up: works of science narrative for young people, and science journalism in Basque produced by the media.
Categories of the CAF-Elhuyar Awards are as follows:
- Popularisation Articles:
- Works to Popularise Theses 2000 €
- General Popularisation Articles 2000 €
- Science Narrative Books for Young People 5000 €
- Works of Science Journalism 2000 €
