The prize is named after the renowned philosopher and academician Barbara Cassin.
The prize aims to increase the visibility and international impact of outstanding monographs published in French by researchers based in Strasbourg. It will also serve to highlight the work of translators in the humanities and social sciences, and in particular the work of human translators.
