In its commitment to promoting studies on the history of the Health Sciences, the Uriach Foundation 1838 has established an annual international prize, which will be awarded to the best work that, in the judgment of a jury designated for this purpose, addresses a topic related to History and the Health Sciences.
The award will be granted under the following
RULES
-
The 51st Uriach Foundation Prize “History of Medicine” for 2020 carries an award of €3,000 for the winner and a runner-up prize of €1,000, if the jury deems it appropriate.
-
The monographs submitted for the Prize must be original and unpublished. Works that, at the time of the award, have been published in whole or in part, as well as those submitted to other competitions, will not be accepted.
-
Entries must be submitted in electronic format together with a printed copy, double-spaced, with a recommended length of 80,000 characters including spaces. Bibliography or documentary references, as well as supplementary iconography, must also be included.
-
The works, written in Spanish, must be sent to the Uriach Foundation. The deadline for submission is July 1, 2020.

The 51st Uriach Foundation Prize “History of Medicine” will be awarded by a Jury, whose decision will be announced during November 2020.

Once the Prize has been awarded, the secretary of the Jury will proceed to open the sealed envelope of the winning entry and, if applicable, that of the runner-up.

Should the Jury deem it appropriate, the winning work, as well as other submitted works, may be published in the digital journal Pharmacy, Medicine and History, always in agreement with the authors.
-
The award-winning monographs will become the property of the Uriach Foundation 1838, which will hold the right of publication for three years following the award. If publication does not take place within this period, the publication rights will revert to the author, who may publish the work elsewhere, with the obligation to cite the Prize received. Works that are not awarded or selected for publication will be destroyed without the opening of their sealed envelopes.
