Engaging the World

The aim of the Fyssen Foundation is to “encourage all forms of scientific inquiry into cognitive mechanisms, including thought and reasoning, which underlie animal and human behavior; their biological and cultural bases, and phylogenetic and ontogenetic development”. This Prize will be awarded to a scientist who has conducted distinguished research in the areas supported by the Foundation: Ethology, Psychology, Neurobiology, Social Anthropology, Ethnology, Human Palaeontology and Archaeology. It is expected that the applicant would have influenced significantly cognitive sciences at the international level.

Value: 100,000 Euros.
