Since 2010, the Section of natural sciences, physics and mathematics of the Institut grand-ducal has awarded each year a researcher (m/f) for either their complete work or an exceptional discovery in the fields of biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics and physics. To be eligible for the award, the researcher (m/f) must be of Luxembourgish nationality or a researcher working or having worked in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg with the major part of his/her scientific work and international publications done in the Grand-Duchy. The prize is endowed with 5.000 EUR and is awarded during an academic session at the end of the year. Deadline is 31 March 2024.
The 2024 prize is for the third time a prize for chemistry and is called “Prize Paul METZ” in memory of Paul METZ, former CEO of ARBED and president of the Section des Sciences de l’Institut Grand-ducal from 1976 to 1983. The prize is sponsored by the Family of Paul METZ and the Section des Sciences.
