The aim of the award is to recognize the importance of Polish–French scientific cooperation.

The award will be given to two cooperating scientists from Poland and France in recognition of their joint research accomplishments contributing to strengthening of scientific cooperation between the two countries. The laureates will receive EUR 15,000 each, including an individual prize of EUR 5,000 and a grant of EUR 10,000 for continued scientific cooperation. Submissions will be accepted in the form of nominations and self-nominations. A pair of candidates may be nominated by any active representative of the Polish or French scientific community.
