Pasteur-Weizmann/Servier Prize
Since 2003 L’Institut Servier has partnered with the Institut Pasteur/Weizmann Institute of Sciences Council to award the Pasteur-Weizmann/Servier International Prize (250,000 euros) to a researcher, a medical doctor or a scientist for major contribution to a biomedical discovery determining a major therapeutic application.
The objective of the prize is to promote and encourage fundamental research, in particular the transition from laboratory research to medical therapy.
The Scientific Committee of the Prize is made up of scientists from the Pasteur Weizmann Council, scientists from the Institut Servier and 3 international experts in rare genetic diseases. After reviewing the applications received, the Prize’s Scientific Committee will elect the winner in the 1st quarter of 2024.
The 8th Pasteur-Weizmann/Servier Prize will be officially awarded to the winner in 2024 at a symposium dedicated to rare childhood diseases on 9 January 2025.
