Princess of Asturias Awards
The Princess of Asturias Foundation has been granting the Princess of Asturias Awards since 1981, an exaltation of effort and knowledge, of culture as a driving force of development and an element of social cohesion, in addition to offering a message of hope for the future.
The awards seek to recognise, through the granting and presentation of the awards, the excellent work carried out by people and institutions from all around the world and to promote the scientific, cultural and humanistic values that form a key part of the universal heritage of humanity.
