The Etoiles de l’Europe Award honors coordinators of European projects for research and innovation that are led by a French institution. This prize, awarded by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, recognizes the contributions and engagement of French research teams with European research.

This year Tamara Giles-Vernick, Head of the Anthropology and Ecology of Disease Emergence five-year unit, is a laureate of the Etoiles de l’Europe for the project SoNAR-Global which she coordinates. SoNAR-Global is an international consortium of social scientists specializing in infectious disease and antimicrobial resistance. A notable achievement of this project is the establishment of a dynamic, international, and sustainable social sciences network facilitating the active participation of the social sciences in epidemic preparedness and response, and antimicrobial resistance. SoNAR-Global designed and implemented training to strengthen social science capacity around the world. It adapted and implemented tools to reveal complex, hidden social and health vulnerabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, translating findings from seven country teams into policy recommendations and strategies.

Tamara Giles-Vernick received the prize from the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Sylvie Retailleau, during an official ceremony on December 6, 2022.
