The Rammal Award 2000
(Paris, December 18, 2001)
Description
The Rammal Award, created in memory of the great Lebanese physicist
Rammal Rammal (1951-91) is awarded each year to an outstanding
personality of strong scientific stature from one of the Mediterranean
countries, who, through his life and activity (whether in fundamental
or applied research, teaching, or the integration of knowledge), has
given a new and modern form to the flow of scientific exchange in this
part of the world.
Active scientists from any disciplinary background, including exact sciences, social sciences and humanities, are eligible as candidates. Organisations supporting similar objectives can also apply.
The 2000 awardees have been selected by the unanimous decision of the eight members of the independent panel established by Euroscience, in their December 9, 2000 deliberation.

André Mégarbané, 36, M.D., Ph.D., is deputy director of the Unit of Medical Genetics and Professor of Genetics at University Saint Joseph in Beyrouth. He is the author of important research articles describing clinical and molecular aspects of several genetic diseases. After his Ph.D. in Life Sciences in Paris, he went back to Lebanon. He created a mobile care unit to diagnose and treat children in Lebanese villages, in particular for genetically determined diseases, inform and educate the population. He is a member of a network of geneticists from more than 10 Mediterranean countries, and regularly participates to teaching in Tunisia.
Abderrahmane Tadjeddine, 56, Ph. D., is deputy director of the Laboratory for Use of Synchrotron Radiation (LURE) in France. He has made innovative contributions to the study of the physico-chemical mechanisms in the solid-liquid interfaces, a subject of importance both from the fundamental and the industrial point of views. With great efforts and constancy, he has supported and supports scientific training and research activities in several universities of Algeria. He has also taken an active part in the project of delocalization of the BESSY-1 synchrotron from Berlin to Jordan, under the UNESCO auspices, for the benefit of Middle-East scientists.
