  •   SFRR-EUROPE CATHERINE PASQUIER MEMORIAL AWARD

    Society for Free Radical Research Europe

    Dinamarca, 2024

    The Catherine Pasquier Memorial Award Lecture is an annual award honouring the life of Catherine Pasquier of INSERM, Paris, and President of SFRR Europe from 2001-2002. The eligibility criteria have been selected to reflect what we know were Professor Catherine Pasquier’s priorities during her prolific career. The eligible person must be an Early Career Scientist: 1) Beyond formal training but not yet fully established. 2) From any country in Europe and an active member of SFRR Europe. 3) With career accomplishments and therefore also with future promise. 4) With achievements in the broad area of free radical research. This may include work at the basic, clinical or epidemiological level. This award is, thus, not intended for well-established investigators or as recognition for a single project, but for overall accomplishments and future promise. The required material are the candidate's full CV with an up-to-date publications list and a nominator's letter of recommendation. This letter is very important and should clearly lay out the importance of the candidate's accomplishments to date and be convincing in its prediction of future research promise. An SFRR Europe Catherine Pasquier Scientific Committee, comprised of the the SFRR Europe Executive and chaired by the President-Elect, selects the Award Lecture based on the received nominations with the awardee fulfilling the eligibility criteria, in particular their research excellence and promise and without regard to nationality.
