The prix Jaffé is a prize of the Institut de France awarded by nomination of the French Academy of Sciences. The award is financially supported by the Jaffé foundation of the Institute.
Presentation edit
Founded in 1930, in the early years it awarding "a quadrennial prize to recognise research in pure or applied mathematics contributing to the progress and well-being of humanity".[1] From 2001, two prizes of € 7,750 are awarded each year, an amount which was later reduced to € 6,850. It is awarded alternately to:
- a researcher for contributions pure or applied mechanics and computer science, as well as a researcher for pure or applied integrative biology work, for one year;
- a researcher for experiments in the field of sciences of the universe, as well as a researcher for experiments in cellular and molecular biology, for the other year.[2]
