On July 11, 2024, Pierre Agostini and Anne L’Huillier, two of the recipients of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics, each donate one of their Nobel medal to the Lidyl laboratory of Iramis at the CEA.
Catalin Miron, Director of the Laboratory, thanked them with these words: “Your gifts are a testament to the fantastic work you have done within our laboratory, CEA-LIDYL, to which you have kept a deep attachment. It is also a mark of recognition for the teams who have worked alongside you. For the current and future generations of scientists and all the employees of the CEA, it will serve as a remarkable material symbol of the immense intangible scientific heritage that you have passed down to us. We are profoundly grateful to you.”
The ceremony was attended by two other Nobel Prize winners in Physics: Serge Haroche (2012) and Gérard Mourou (2018), as well as Anne-Isabelle Etienvre, Director of Fundamental Research at the CEA (CEA-DRF), and numerous representatives of the national and international scientific community.
