Call for nominations for the 2025 Pasteur Vallery-Radot Prize

Each year, the Institut Pasteur (IP) gives a number of prizes to scientists who have made a major contribution to research. The cash awards included with the prizes are funded by generous donors.

Jacqueline Pasteur Vallery-Radot, the wife of Louis Pasteur's grandson, chose the National Library of France (BnF) as the residuary legatee of her estate. Under the terms of her will, the BnF awards two prizes every year, in consultation with the Institut Pasteur, funded by the revenue from her legacy.

Since 2007, these prizes have been awarded annually to two French Institut Pasteur scientists under the age of 50 (on January 1 of the following year) for research results of important impact in biology, physics or chemistry achieved over the last 5 years.

There are two cash prizes for laureates, each worth €16,000.

The call for nominations for the 2024 Pasteur Vallery-Radot Prize is now open and you are invited to nominate a candidate (permanent scientist working on campus for more than 5 years, under 50 yo.).
 
The deadline for submitting your nominations is February 6, 2025 (6pm).
 
Prize characteristics, eligibility criteria, the nomination form and the list of past laureates are available here.
