In 2015, BGSMath was awarded a  “Unit of Excellence Maria de Maeztu” distinction by the Spanish Government. These recognitions are meant to fund “highly competitive strategic research programmes in the frontiers of knowledge” that “are among the best in the world in their respective scientific areas”. The financial support over 4 years was for a total of 2,000,000€.

During that period, BGSMath was the only unit in mathematics in Spain holding this distinction.
