The Bunge y Born Foundation has since 1964 continuously provided funding for the Bunge y Born Foundation Prize for Argentine researchers who have made significant contributions to the progress and knowledge in the field of the sciences. In the year 2000, it set up the Incentive Prize for Young Scientists which, like its older sibling, is awarded in the same categories with the aim of discovering and promoting new talent among students working, training and researching science at universities and institutes of higher learning in Argentina.
In 2010, the field selected for the award was Physics. The Special Advisory Committee was charged with the compilation of a shortlist for each prize. The Jury had the final responsibility of selecting the winners.
