The Scientific Committee

The ARTOIS-BAILLET LATOUR Foundation was established on the 1st of March 1974 at the initiative of Count Alfred de BAILLET LATOUR, Director of the ARTOIS Breweries, who presented it with a considerable endowment. The aim of the Foundation was defined as follows : "The sole aim of the Foundation shall be to encourage and reward achievements of outstanding human value in the Arts and Sciences by means of Prizes, study and travel grants, donations in cash or kind, or by any other means that the Foundation might deem appropriate. The Foundation shall be a non-profit institution and shall have no political, trade-union, philosophical or religious affiliation or allegiance". The Foundation was initially called "Artois Baillet Latour Foundation. In 1995 it became the "Interbrew-Baillet Latour Foundation" and in 2005, the name was changed to "InBev-Baillet Latour Fund" The Board of Directors became the Management Board. It is presently chaired by Baron Jan Huyghebaert. The Establishment of the Prize With a view to implementing the wishes of Count Alfred de BAILLET LATOUR, the Board of Directors of the Foundation under the Chairmanship of Mr. Robert VANDEPUTTE, former Minister of Finance of the Kingdom of Belgium, Honorary Governor of the National Bank of Belgium, decided in 1977 to establish a Prize to be awarded periodically to recognize the merits of a person whose work has contributed prominently to the improvement of human health. The Prize was called the ARTOIS-BAILLET LATOUR HEALTH PRIZE. In 1995, the Board of the Directors of the Foundation has changed the name to INTERBREW-BAILLET LATOUR HEALTH PRIZE and from 2005 on to INBEV-BAILLET LATOUR HEALTH PRIZE. The Health Prize, which today amounts to two hundred and fifty thousand euros, was awarded every two years until 1999, and every year since 2000. The regulations concerning the Prize are approved by the Management Board of the Fund. A new set of regulations entering into force for the Health Prize 2007 give a broad delegation of power to a newly created SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE who is in charge of the scientific management of the Prize. The Scientific Committee receives administrative support from the National Fund for Scientific Research (F.N.R.S.).
