In 2013, the prize for engineering sciences and physics was created and the prize for mathematics and computer science followed in 2016. The awards themselves are heirloom items of jewelry commissioned from students of the art and design college, Central Saint Martins-UAL. Each of the women who have been awarded the heirlooms nominate who they wish to pass on their award to every two years. This creates an international network of inspiring female role models.
