Honoring Scientific Excellence: Avelino Corma Receives BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award

June, 20th, 2025

Yesterday, our dear friend and colleague Avelino Corma, honorary researcher at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and founder of the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ-CSIC-UPV), received the Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the category of Basic Sciences, presented by the BBVA Foundation in a ceremony held in Bilbao.

This recognition highlights his pioneering work in the field of catalysis, where his contributions—particularly in the development of synthetic zeolites—have laid the groundwork for a more efficient and sustainable chemical industry.

At HG Energy, it was a true honor to accompany Avelino during this important celebration. His dedication, scientific vision, and humility continue to inspire us all. Witnessing his work being acknowledged on such a prominent international stage reaffirms the value of scientific research as a driver of innovation and positive change.

The ceremony brought together leading scientists and cultural figures from around the world, celebrating knowledge as a common good that benefits society as a whole. We join the broader scientific community in congratulating Avelino for this well-deserved achievement.
