BIAL Award in Biomedicine 2025 – call for nominations
The BIAL Foundation is soliciting nominations for its 2025 Award in Biomedicine.
The Bial Foundation was established in 1994 by BIAL and the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities. BIAL Foundation’s mission is to foster the scientific study of the human being from both the physical and spiritual perspectives. It is managed by representatives from both institutions.
The BIAL Award in Biomedicine was created in 2018 to extend the scope of the BIAL Foundation’s activity and to acknowledge the most notable and relevant discoveries in the field of biomedicine. This award, with an increased prize of €350,000, aims to recognise high quality, scientifically relevant research in the biomedical field published as of January 1st, 2016. The Award is granted bi-annually since 2019. Only works nominated by the Voting members of the Jury, the members of the Scientific Board of the BIAL Foundation, previous BIAL award winners and Scientific Societies may be considered candidates. The Jury may also invite other scientific institutions to submit proposals, but self-nominations are not accepted.
The BIAL Award in Biomedicine has the support of the President of the Portuguese Republic, the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities and the European Medical Association.
The Award recognizes a single paper of empirical biomedical research of outstanding scientific quality published in a peer-reviewed journal since 2016.
