“Scientific research and development are the greatest investments in the future. […] The scientists we honor today are not only exceptional researchers but also demonstrate an ethical drive to do the right thing. We are all at the service of people’s health and well-being, at the service of the common good, the bonum commune. The Francqui-Collen Prize also serves this idea and this ideal.”
– Herman Van Rompuy, President of the Francqui Foundation (06/06/2023)
