A recognition to cultural dedication
On June 5, the prestigious Francesc Macià Memorial will be given within the framework of the Premium.cat Night 2025, a gala that highlights the significant contributions to the Catalan language and culture. On this occasion, Maria Teresa Cabré has been recognized for her extraordinary career in the field of Catalan philology.
Maria Teresa Cabré: Pioneer in Philology
With a trajectory that includes the creation and direction of various key institutions such as the Termcat Terminology Center and the University Institute of Applied Linguistics, Cabré has marked a precedent as a first woman to preside over the Philological Section of the IEC. His work has been essential for the promotion and development of Catalan.
Honor to Catalan communication
In addition to Cabré, the Association of Periodicals in Catalan (APPEC) has received the award in the collective category. This entity has been a fundamental pillar for more than 40 years in promoting the Catalan press, supporting a network of more than 200 magazines and digital media.
Promotion of peace and trust
Within the context of the International Year for Peace and Confidence, the Lluís Companys Memorial has decided to reward initiatives that promote peace through dialogue. Antoni Segura has been recognized for his rigorous work in historical research, providing a humanistic and defender of human rights.
FUNDIPAU: a voice for peace
The Foundation for Peace, known as FundiPau, has been awarded for its tireless work in the defense of human rights and the peaceful resolution of conflicts. His commitment to critical awareness of armed violence, especially nuclear disarmament, has been recognized internationally.
A prize without winner
With regard to the premium.cat rehearsal prize 2025, the jury has decided not to grant it this year, which opens a debate on quality and innovation in the genre.
