The award ceremony take place at the biennial International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC). The recipient is "an active scientist who has made distinguished contributions in the field of high-energy cosmic-ray physics and astroparticle physics over an extended academic career."^[1] The inaugural award was made in 2011 to Sir Arnold Wolfendale.^[2]

There are several different awards named in honor of the physicist Homi J. Bhabha — for example, the Homi Bhabha Medal (in five different categories) awarded by the Nuclear Fuel Complex of the Department of Atomic Energy of the Government of India.^[3]
