The Rammal Award was created in memory of the great Lebanese physicist Rammal Rammal (1951-1991). It is awarded each year to an outstanding personality or organisation of strong scientific stature who, through their life and through activities pursued in a Mediterranean country has elevated the level of scientific exchanges or the perception of science in the region. Their work could be focused on fundamental or applied research, teaching, or the integration of knowledge.

The deadline for nomination has now been extended to the 1^st April 2013.
