Anthony Mainguené prize

Created in 2017, this prize will reward each year the clinic project closest to the values of the Anthony Mainguené Foundation.

This prize, endowed with €5000, will allow the team of students to develop their clinic project during the following academic year, and in particular to cover the costs of tutoring, travel, organisation of events, publication etc.
