This esteemed recognition is a testament to her exceptional contributions in the field of neuropharmacology. For over two decades, Catherine Llorens-Cortes served as the Director of the Central Laboratory of Neuropeptides and Water and Cardiovascular Regulations at the Collège de France (Inserm U691). In 2011, her laboratory integrated into the Interdisciplinary Center for Research in Biology at CDF (Inserm U1050/CNRS 7241), solidifying her legacy of research and leadership. Catherine's groundbreaking work has led to the identification of novel therapeutic targets for conditions such as arterial hypertension, heart failure, and hyponatremia. These discoveries have not only advanced scientific understanding but have also paved the way for the development of various therapeutically relevant molecules. One standout achievement is Firibastat, the first aminopeptidase A inhibitor to penetrate the brain. This innovative compound has demonstrated the ability to normalize blood pressure in various experimental hypertension models and improve cardiac function in a post-myocardial infarction heart failure model. Clinical trials post-myocardial infarction have shown that Firibastat prevents left ventricular dysfunction with good blood pressure tolerance, showcasing the practical implications of Catherine Llorens-Cortes's research in healthcare. Her discovery of metabolically stable analogs of apelin, such as LIT01-196, suggests a novel approach for treating hyponatremia. Activation of the apelin receptor by this compound represents a promising avenue for addressing this condition. EurASc takes immense pride in Catherine Llorens-Cortes's well-deserved recognition. Her exceptional contributions to science and technology align perfectly with the mission of EurASc, and we are honored to have her as a distinguished member. As we celebrate this achievement, we look forward to witnessing the continued impact of Catherine Llorens-Cortes's groundbreaking research on the future of therapeutics and healthcare.

Additionally, Pierre Agostini was also honored for his contributions to this field. We are proud to have such innovative and accomplished individuals among our membership. Congratulations to all three on this well-deserved recognition! (text by The Nobel Prize) The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.” The 2023 Nobel Prize laureates in physics are being recognised for their experiments, which have given humanity new tools for exploring the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules. Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier have demonstrated a way to create extremely short pulses of light that can be used to measure the rapid processes in which electrons move or change energy. The laureates’ contributions have enabled the investigation of processes that are so rapid they were previously impossible to follow. There are potential applications in many different areas. In electronics, for example, it is important to understand and control how electrons behave in a material. Attosecond pulses can also be used to identify different molecules, such as in medical diagnostics.

Professor Mohan Edirisinghe OBE, FREng, University College London awarded by The Royal Society with Clifford Paterson Medal and Lecture 2024 for seminal research in engineering science of making small structures from soft matter in novel scalable ways, creating new frontiers in functional applications causing major advances in manufacturing and healthcare. The Clifford Paterson Medal and Lecture is given for outstanding contributions in the field of engineering. The lectureship was originally endowed by The General Electric Company in memory of Clifford Paterson FRS, who founded the GEC Research Laboratories in 1919. Originally the lectures were given on electrical science and technology but this was later broadened to any aspect of engineering. The first lecture was given in 1975. The medal is of bronze, is awarded biennially and is accompanied by a gift of £2,000.

Professor Roger Falconer was honored with the Chinese Government Friendship Award and Medal from Dr Zhu Jiang, Deputy Director, International Economic and Technical Cooperation and Exchange Centre (INTCE), Ministry of Water Resources. ‘The Friendship Award is the highest award to commend foreign experts’ who have ‘made contributions to China's modernization drive’ and I have benefitted immensely from collaborating with Chinese scholars and practitioners since 1981. Professor Falconer first started collaborating with China through Tongji University and have since worked with several leading universities and government institutes. Examples include: (i) Tongji University: designing harbours and marinas to maximise water quality; (ii) Tsinghua University: developing a model CONTANK to reduce chlorine levels in disinfection tanks; (iv) Tianjin University and Municipal Government: modelling Bohai Bay and Sea to balance economic development of the Bay for increased shipping, balanced with minimal environmental impact; (v) Wuhan University: developing urban models and formulations for stability of people and vehicles in floods; (vi) Hohai University and the Yangtse Institute for Conservation and Presentation: collaborating on global water security and sustainable water management. Through these collaborations and Honorary Professor appointments at several universities and institutes, Falconer had the opportunity of co-authoring over 120 journal publications with Chinese scholars. Whilst in China Prof. Falconer also visited the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) to receive the certificate of election as a Foreign Member in 2019 and delivered the second CAE Lead Lecture on ‘Global Water Security: Modelling for Sustainable Flood, Water Quality and Health Risk Assessment’ at a CAE LEADS and IWHR River Dialogue Livestreaming event. The European Academy of Sciences congratulates Professor Roger Falconer for such a distinguished recognition that honours and enhances Prof's whole professional career as well as our Academy.
