— Editors

Professor Chantal Delsol, lecturer from the University of Paris XII and the Université Marne-la-Vallée, was this year's Laureate of the international "Ratio et Spes" Award.

"Ratio et Spes" is an award granted jointly since 2020 by Nicolaus Copernicus University and the Vatican Joseph Ratzinger-Benedetto XVI Foundation for an outstanding interdisciplinary scientific publication or a series of publications that fall into an annually determined focus.
