The National Academy of Sciences of Bolivia, together with the PROINPA Foundation, launched calls for entries for two awards. The “Humberto Gandarillas Santa Cruz” award, in its fifth edition, is for works related to quinoa, cañahua, tarwi, and amaranth.
Likewise, there is the “Antonio Gandarillas Antezana” award for works related to valley and plain crops; the topics of the theses defended by young people must focus on research that contributes to sustainable agriculture and regenerative agriculture, also relating current agrobiodiversity and climate change.
Submissions will be accepted until August 15th of this year. Theses defended during the years 2023, 2024 and 2025 at any Bolivian public or private university are eligible. The prizes for first, second and third place in both competitions total 18000 Bs. and are supported by Anapo, WWF, Swedish Cooperation, the European Union and Swisscontact.
