The Research Projects

In 2001, the Articles of the Balzan Foundation established a stipulation that prize winners must destine half of the prize to finance research projects that are preferably carried out by young scholars or scientists. The research projects of the Balzan prize winners emphasise the Prize’s special vocation to promote new or emerging fields of study or research.
