Académie Nationale de Pharmacie/Michel Delalande Fund - Michel Delalande Award

Michel Delalande Award

You will receive a one-off prize of 2,000 EUR from the Académie nationale de Pharmacie (French National Academy of Pharmacy). This prize is awarded to an established researcher or a research team in recognition of original scientific work in the field of pharmaceutical sciences. The Academy has a particular interest in three areas: pharmacodynamics (how medicines affect the body), therapeutic chemistry and research into natural chemical substances. If there are several prize winners, the jury will decide how the prize money is to be divided. The prize will be presented during the Academy’s annual ceremonial meeting.
