Marcos Moshinsky Foundation

The Marcos Moshinsky Foundation (Fundación Marcos Moshinsky) is a Mexican civil association whose stated mission is to promote science in Mexico. It is named in honor of Marcos Moshinsky, a prominent Mexican theoretical physicist, and operates as a non-profit organization rather than a commercial enterprise. Its principal activity is the creation and awarding of a program of research chairs known as the "Cátedras Marcos Moshinsky" (Marcos Moshinsky Chairs). The foundation's flagship program is designed for young Mexican scientists who have already demonstrated an outstanding trajectory in their area of specialization. According to the foundation, these recognitions are not intended to reward the end of brilliant careers but rather to give momentum to successful careers that are still on the rise. Candidates are expected to be researchers with high potential and proven achievements, and it is hoped that by the end of the chair period they will contribute significantly to the scientific development of the country. Each year, chairs are awarded to young scientists in physics, mathematics, and the chemical-biological sciences to develop a research project in their areas of interest. The amounts of the chairs are described as considerable and are delivered to the winners in a single disbursement. Winners are selected through a rigorous selection process in which they are evaluated by recognized Mexican scientists. The research chairs are intended as a permanent homage to the work of Marcos Moshinsky and as a lifetime honor for those who obtain them. Over the years, the foundation expects its laureates to form a large family with a common objective: fostering scientific research in Mexico. The foundation maintains an official website at fmm.fisica.unam.mx, hosted in association with the Institute of Physics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). It is registered as a civil association in Mexico and is recognized in public knowledge bases such as Wikidata as a Mexican civil association.

The Marcos Moshinsky Foundation is a Mexican civil association established to promote science in Mexico. It is named after Marcos Moshinsky, a leading Mexican theoretical physicist known for his contributions to nuclear and mathematical physics. The foundation's central initiative is the Cátedras Marcos Moshinsky program, a set of research chairs awarded annually to young Mexican scientists in physics, mathematics, and the chemical-biological sciences. The program is intended to identify researchers with high potential and proven achievements and to provide them with substantial support, delivered in a single disbursement, to develop a research project in their area of interest. Winners are chosen through a rigorous selection process evaluated by recognized Mexican scientists. The foundation describes the chairs as a permanent homage to Marcos Moshinsky's work and a lifetime honor for recipients, with the expectation that laureates will form a community dedicated to fostering scientific research in Mexico. The foundation maintains an official website hosted in association with the Institute of Physics at UNAM.
