Prix de Quervain
The "Prix de Quervain" for Polar and High Altitude Research is attributed to young scientists for outstanding achievements in their MA or PhD thesis. The "Prix de Quervain" is announced annually, alternately for polar and high altitude research. In 2010, the call is open for medical research concerning high altitude or polar regions.
At the occasion of the "Prix de Quervain", a symposium featuring renowned speakers takes place every autumn. The author of the awarded MA or PhD thesis will be given the occasion to present his or her research results during this event to a interdisciplinary public.
The announcement letter featuring the details concerning the participation and the inscription form are available in German and French.
