The French Académie des sciences is pleased to welcome this Tuesday September 7, 2021, the Foundation for Polish Science and the Zygmunt Zaleski Foundation. These three partners will sign a Memorandum of Understanding for the creation of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie and Pierre Curie Polish-French Scientific Award. The ceremony will be held in the presence of His Excellency Mr. Tomasz Młynarski, Polish Ambassador to France.

This biannual prize was initiated during the 2019-2020 French-Polish scientific year. The prize is worth 30,000 euros and is financed by the Zygmunt Zaleski Foundation. It aims to reward scientific excellence resulting from Franco-Polish scientific collaborations. It will be awarded to two researchers, one working in France, the other one in Poland, for the first time in 2022.
