The life sciences award was founded in 2011.[5] Every year there are 10 laureates from research backgrounds and one laureate for communication. The engineering and physical sciences award was founded in 2013.[6] Every year there are 12 laureates from areas spanning physics, chemistry and more. The math and computing award was launched on Ada Lovelace Day, 2016.[7] Every year there are five laureates from mathematics, five laureates from computing and one laureate for science communication and the public awareness of science.
