Ibor 2010
|
| |
|
|
The Juan
José López-Ibor Foundation is proud
to announce that the second edition of the International
Juan José López Ibor Award has been
granted, after a very carefully thought-out decision,
this time to two outstanding personalities in the
field of psychiatry:
Prof. JULES ANGST and Dr. EYAD EL SARRAJ. |
|
|
The words
of Prof. López-Ibor: "We could not say no to
somebody as Prof. Angst and we had to say yes to Dr. El
Sarraj" reflect the spirit of the outcome, as well
as the spirit of the rest of the members of the Jury. Both
aspects the award aims to cover, the scientific perspective
and the human dignity, are brilliantly represented by these
two candidates.
The award will be granted in Beijing
during the Opening Ceremony of the International Congress
of the World Psychiatric Association, 1-5 September 2010.
A Special Lecture by both awardees will be delivered during
this Congress. |
