In Support of Excellence in Science and Technology
Prize Ceremony will be held online – New date: 21st May 2021
We are honoured to announce that Springer Nature, through Discover Materials journal, supports this event.
Note on their website
Due to the COVID-19 situation, it has been decided that the annual event would be online.
ATTENTION
Because of drastic sanitary reasons occurring now in Europe, the L. da Vinci and B. Pascal Prizes ceremony + the delivery of EurASc diploma to new members will be dissociated from the scientific Symposium on the role of micro- and nano-technologies for medicine and life sciences that will take place on April 14th 2021.
The Prize Ceremony will take place in the second half of May 2021. You will be later informed of the new date.
Dear Fellows,

ATTENTION
It has come to our attention that there is another organization calling itself the EU Academy of Sciences that uses the logo EUAS and that has been misleading and confusing researchers and scientists, including some our own Fellows.
We have already denounced this suspicious organization, and we have a disclaimer about it clearly displayed on our webpage (https://www.eurasc.eu/disclaimer).
We are doing our best to address this deception and to solve this issue that has been a source of considerable confusion and frustration.
Elvira Fortunato today joins the Pessoa 2020 Prize to its vast curriculum. She is the seventh scientist, to be distinguished with the highest award in Portugal to the personality of the areas of Science, Arts or Culture whose work has stood out most each year.

The European Academy of Sciences mourns the loss of Sir John Meurig Thomas, who recently passed away. He was elected as Member of our Academy in the Materials Science Division in 2010 and received the Blaise Pascal Medal in Materials Science of our Academy in 2014.
A pre-eminent scholar in materials science, Sir Thomas was a scientist, educator and university administrator, whose work had widely acknowledged influence globally. He is generally considered as one of the fathers of solid-state chemistry. He was among the first to use electron microscopy as a tool to study structure/property relationships in materials. His research also had a major impact in heterogeneous catalysis and surface science, as he identified active-site reactivities from the surface morphology of numerous systems.
With his passing, the materials science community and the scientific community in general have lost one of their giants.
Professor Jean-Pierre Gattuso (Laboratoire d’Océanographie, CNRS, Villefranche-sur-mer, France) received the 2020 Ruth Patrick Award of the ASLO (Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography) for “his leadership in, and commitment to, addressing ocean acidification”. In 2014, professor Gattuso was elected at the EurASc as one of the Blaise Pascal medallist selected by the Earth and Environmental Sciences division. He is one of the world leaders on ocean acidification which is due to the absorption by the ocean of the anthropogenic atmospheric CO2. He also is deeply involved in the International Panel for Climate Change (IPPC) reports and he did contribute to the China – Europe Frontier Forum on the future of marine sciences and technologies, held in Shanghai and on-line on 20-21 October 2020.
Pierre Braunstein, our Head of the Chemical Division and research director of CNRS, Strasbourg, France, is winner of the Franco-Portuguese 2019 prize attributed by the Sociedade Portuguesa de Química (RPQ). This is a biennial prize that distinguishes outstanding Portuguese and French chemical researchers, every two years.
Dear Academician,
