Announcement of
a new International Prize from IOCD
The International Organization for Chemical Sciences in Development
(IOCD), on the occasion of
its 20th anniversary, is pleased to announce the initiation of the Pierre
Crabb�-IOCD Prize. Pierre Crabb� was a distinguished Belgian scientist
who conceived and, in 1981, founded IOCD as an international organization
for helping scientists in developing countries. He served as its director
until his untimely death in 1987. IOCD has continued to pursue its mission
of collaborating with scientists in developing countries in major ways.
This Prize will be awarded in 2002 to the person who the Prize Committee
finds has made the most significant contribution during the past two
years to the encouragement of better science and education in a developing
country. The Prize will consist of a medal and a USD 10000 cash award.
Any person with interest in the developing world may nominate one or
more candidates for the Pierre Crabb�-IOCD Prize. A nominee may be from
any country, but special attention will be given to those from developing
countries. The nomination, not longer than one typed page, should consist
of the following:
- a short description (no more than 150 words) of the work of the
candidate that supports the nomination;
- a curriculum vitae of no more that 10 lines in length;
- a statement of the impact of the work.
Nominations should be submitted no later than 31 March 2002
