The Bodossaki Excellence Award has been established to pay tribute to and raise the public profile of Greeks who have devoted their lives to science and whose outstanding performance and important work have made a particularly significant contribution to the advancement of their scientific disciplines. The purpose of the Excellence Award is to make known to the public internationally acclaimed Greek scientists active in Physical Sciences and Mathematics as well as in Technological, Biomedical and Social Sciences, who can be genuine role models for society and a source of national pride.<\/p>\n

Between 2002, when the Bodossaki Excellence Award was first introduced, and 2011, it was awarded to seven internationally acclaimed Greek scientists, which you can see\u00a0here<\/a>.
