Every year, the four Balzan Prizes are awarded to scholars and scientists who are distinguished on an international level. The Prize for Humanity, Peace and Fraternity among Peoples is assigned at intervals of at least three years.
In 2001, the Articles of the Balzan Foundation established a stipulation that Prizewinners must destine half of the prize to finance research projects that are preferably carried out by young scholars or scientists.
