On Thursday, June 19, Euskalduna Bilbao will be the venue for the presentation ceremony of the 17th Frontiers of Knowledge Awards. The evening before, the gala concert in honor of this year’s recipients of the BBVA Foundation’s international prizes, recognizing scientific and cultural excellence, will be held at the same venue.

The goal of the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Awards is to celebrate and promote the value of knowledge as a public good without frontiers, the best instrument at our command to take on the great challenges and opportunities of our time. Their eight categories are congruent with the knowledge map of the 21st century, ranging from basic science to environmental and climate studies by way of biomedicine, economics, information technologies, social sciences, the humanities and the universal art of music.

The event will be streamed live on the BBVA Foundation homepage at 19:30 (Spanish standard time).
