On 11 December 2017, H.E. Mr Claude Cottalorda, Monaco’s Ambassador to France, attended the 58^th Fondation Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet pour la Vocation Award Ceremony.

Every year, the Foundation, chaired by Ms Elisabeth Badinter, recognises especially deserving young men and women in various fields from literature to sport, via science, research and the environment.

During the ceremony held at the Théâtre Édouard VII in Paris, the Monegasque Ambassador awarded the H.S.H. Prince Albert II Prize to Ms Mouna Lekhnati, a 22-year-old urban planner who aims to build a smart city based on her studies in technology and sustainable development.

The vocation prize should enable Ms Lekhnati to fund a portion of her tuition fees and help her to embark on her future career.
