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.

Committee's Report

Anne-Marie Moulin, a French philosopher and physician distinguished by the Rammal Award 2003

 
Euroscience’s President announced on February 14, 2004, that the Rammal Award for the year 2003 has been attributed to Dr. Anne-Marie Moulin, a French Philosopher and Physician.

Dr. Anne-Marie Moulin studied Medicine at the Centre Hopitalo-Universitaire of La Pitié-Sapétrière (Paris), where she got her M.D. in 1979, and immunology, biochemistry, and mycology at MIT, Paris University and Institut Pasteur (Paris).

In parallel, she got a Ph. D. in Philosophy (history of immunology) in 1986 at University of Lyon. She has been Director of the Department “Societies and Health” at IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement) in Paris and is presently CNRS Director of Research at CEDEJ (Centre d’Etudes Démographiques, Economiques et Juridiques) Cairo, and President of the Board of Administrators of the French National Agency for Research on AIDS (ANRS).

Anne-Marie Moulin has long invested herself in Mediterranean studies. With the example of the History of Medicine in the Arabic world, she has shown that the disparity between the so-called glorious epoch of Arabic sciences (up to the XIII century) and the subsequent decadence was less profound that it was generally thought to have been. She has taught and organised various seminars and conferences on the History of Sciences and Medicine, in Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, Yemen, Iran, etc., and has published numerous studies in social sciences, history of science, and health problems in the Mediterranean world.
