The Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (Centre for Sociological Research) awards “a brilliant professional and academic trajectory.”

The award is given in recognition of a life dedicated to academia, a legacy reflected not only in the 17 books written and edited by Oñate, but also in his active participation in more than 150 scientific conferences around the world. In addition, he has published more than a hundred articles in specialised magazines book chapters, which has turned him into a key figure in the analysis of contemporary political issues, such as political representation, parliamentary elites and the workings of electoral systems.

He has been a visiting researcher and professor in prestigious international universities, such as Georgetown University, Oxford University and London School of Economics, among others.
