The 2021 Balzan Prizewinners
The microbiome, gravitation, the Holocaust and genocide, and Near Eastern art and archaeology: these are the topics on which the scientists and scholars who were awarded the 2021 Balzan Prize are conducting research. Due to the pandemic, the awards ceremony was being held this year, in early summer in Bern.
