28 CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH OF ALL DEVELOP SOLIDARITY Since 2015, our Institut Cerba endowment fund has been working to promote and develop solidarity-based health actions in France and around the world, alongside associations. THREE PILLARS OF ACTION PROMOTING SUPPORTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE CLINICAL PATHOLOGY Engage our collaborators Launched in 2019, a call for proposals is issued each year to all Group collaborators. In 2022, fourteen projects each received a grant of 2,000 euros, on a variety of topics such as hygiene, access to water, infection control and help for children in precarious situations. Examples of projects supported: • support for vulnerable populations in Lebanon; • support for children with type 1 diabetes; • prevention of breast cancer. Continue partnerships with NGOs and field associations In 2022, Institut Cerba supported UAMITIE, an association that works to find hosts for Ukrainian families, welcome their children in French schools and help the adults find work. Support research and innovation Institut Cerba attributes a number of awards, which include Thesis Prizes for the Pharmassilia and in 2022 a new award – the Prix Solidaire en Maïeutique [for solidarity in midwifery] with the French National College of Midwives (CNSF). Institut Cerba works hand in hand with Aix-Marseille University to reward students who reflect on the biology of tomorrow, and participates every year in the Pharmassilia – an event which rewards the best theses produced by students. The year 2022 marked the 50th anniversary of the Aix Marseille Pharmacy Faculty for which Institut Cerba supported the publication of a book entitled 1972-2022 – Faculté de Pharmacie d’Aix Marseille : 50 ans de rayonnement [1972-2022 – Aix Marseille Pharmacy Faculty: 50 years of influence]. A new prize for the engagement of midwives was awarded in 2022 by Institut Cerba and the CNSF: the Prix Solidaire en Maïeutique, which comprises a Research and Clinical component. The two winners each received a grant of 5,000 euros for their work. The awards aim to showcase and reward clinical and research initiatives already initiated in the gynaecological and reproductive health field, and which address solidarity, social inequalities in health, the fight against vulnerabilities, precariousness and/or access to care. The missions of Institut Cerba • Inform healthcare professionals; • Support and promote research and innovation; • Enable everyone, particularly the most vulnerable, to have access to high-quality clinical pathology.
