The objective of the René Dabard Thesis Prize is to recognize each year a doctor, without institutional restriction, for his thesis work in molecular, solid, materials or environmental engineering chemistry.

This prize aims to reward a young researcher whose work, of high scientific quality, has contributed to the advancement of scientific knowledge, technological innovation and a better understanding of social and environmental issues.
