The Bernardo Houssay Award (Spanish: Premio Bernardo Houssay) is a distinction awarded by Argentina's Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation to honor outstanding work by scientists and researchers. The Ministry selects recipients annually through a jury of prominent scientists.[1] Presented by the President of Argentina, it is one of the country's most prestigious prizes in the field of science and engineering.[2][3]
The award's name is a tribute to the doctor Bernardo Houssay, an Argentine Nobel Prize recipient. The Jorge Sabato Award is named in honor of an Argentine technology pioneer, and confers a significant sum of money in addition to a medal.[4]
