Description
The Talent Awards, funded by Institut Pasteur, recognize promising young scientists within the Pasteur Network who demonstrate scientific potential and a strong sense of initiative. The awards reward candidates who combine a firm scientific approach with engagement in the award’s designated field. Financial support is intended to help recipients develop their careers and continue their work in that field.
The program uses a specific theme, described as renewed every two years. Science & Communication was the theme for 2024–2025, and Artificial Intelligence is the theme listed for 2026. Support combines individual recognition with funding for the recipient’s research unit. Successful candidates also receive an invitation to the Talent Awards reception.
