Professors Chris and Uta Frith win European Latsis Prize

UCL Professors Chris and Uta Frith have received the European Latsis Prize for their contribution to understanding the human mind and brain. The prize is funded by the Geneva-based Latsis Foundation and awarded by the European Science Foundation to an individual or a research group who, in the opinion of their peers, has made the greatest contribution to a particular field of European research. It is valued at 100,000 Swiss francs (approximately £60,000). 'It's exciting to be awarded this prize and particularly to receive it together, recognizing our work individually and as a team,' said Professor Chris Frith (UCL Institute of Neurology). 'Our collaboration shows that not only is it valuable to cross disciplines, but it is also valuable to cross national boundaries. Europe is uniquely rich in the variation you can find in expertise and approaches. In every country there is something worth borrowing or learning about in relation to knowledge and skills.' The research field for the 2009 prize is 'The Human Brain - The Human Mind'.
