CHRISTOPHE MÉRIEUX PRIZE OF THE INSTITUTE OF FRANCE

With the Christophe Mérieux Prize, the Christophe and Rodolphe Mérieux Foundation promotes high-level local research and helps anchor researchers in their home countries.

Since 2007, the Christophe and Rodolphe Mérieux Foundation has awarded a Scientific Grand Prize each year, entitled “Christophe Mérieux Prize” to a researcher or research team studying infectious diseases in developing countries. The selection of the winner is made by the “Institut de France” on the proposal of the Mérieux Foundation, which submits to the Institute personalities identified in the field.

This prize is intended to help research on infectious diseases in developing countries and exclusively reward research teams working permanently within these countries.
