Through the generosity of the University Centre for Adaptive Disorders and Headache (UCADH) and the Centro Italiano Ricerche Neurologiche Applicate (CIRNA Foundation), a prize was established in 1992 in the name of Dr. Giorgio M. Kauchtschischvili. Giorgio M. Kauchtschischvili was born in Berlin of Georgian (Tbilisi) parents, in 1923. He took the high school level in Berlin, after which he moved to Milan where he graduated in medicine and surgery. In Pavia he started research on clinical, biological, neurophysiological and neuroimaging correlates of the aging brain. His death in 1975 has deprived the Pavia school of neurology of an excellent researcher and human being full of energy, enthusiasm, scientific acumen and with a great gift for communication. The qualities of this prominent man, in many senses a truly European man, should be a model for young generations of researchers.
