Louis-André Gerard-Varet Prize

This prize is in memory of ASSET’s first elected president Louis-André Gerard-Varet, who passed away in January 2001. Louis-André Gérard-Varet was Directeur d'Etudes at EHESS, and Director of GREQAM in Marseille. He was ASSET’s chairman from 1990 to 1997 and its president from 1997 to 1999.

The recipient of the prize must be attending the annual meeting, and in the case of co-authored papers, all authors must be individually eligible.
