The CNRS bronze medal recognizes the first work of researchers who are specialists in their field. This distinction represents an encouragement to pursue research that is already well underway and fruitful.
The crystal medal
Research engineer at the Parole et langage laboratory (AMU/CNRS) since 2006, Thierry Legou was awarded the 2023 crystal medal, particularly for his highly technical and creative work, combining mechanical, electronic, acoustic, (neuro)physiological and computer signal processing aspects related to speech. Find out more about his work.
Eric Vigeolas, research engineer in mechanics and mechatronics at the Centre de physique des particules de Marseille (CPPM, AMU/CNRS) and project leader on the ITK trajectograph for the Atlas experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has won the 2023 crystal medal for his work. Discover his portrait on video.
Director of the OpenEdition Center (AMU/CNRS/Avignon Université/EHESS), member of the Observatoire de l'Édition scientifique and the Open Science Publishing working group of the Comité pour la science ouverte, Marie Pellen has also been awarded the 2023 crystal medal for her work in the service of open science. Discover her portrait in a video produced by CNRS.
Corinne Pardo, a research engineer at the Ecosystèmes continentaux et risques environnementaux (ECCOREV) research federation, has been awarded the 2023 crystal medal for her exemplary management as scientific and technical manager of the LabEx DRIIHM on human-environment interactions. Find out more about her work on video.
The crystal medal is awarded to men and women working in research support who, through their creativity, technical expertise and sense of innovation, contribute alongside researchers to the advancement of knowledge and the excellence of French research.
The collective crystal
The Laboratoire national des nucléides cosmogéniques (LN2C) team based at the Centre européen de recherche et d'enseignement de géosciences de l'environnement (CEREGE, AMU/CNRS/IRD/INRAE) is the winner of the 2023 collective crystal. Since 2006, they have provided the entire French community with direct access to the measurement of cosmogenic nuclide concentrations in natural samples. CNRS takes a look at their work on video.
The collective crystal is awarded to teams of men and women working in support of research, who have carried out projects whose technical mastery, collective dimension, applications, innovation, and influence are particularly remarkable. This distinction is awarded in two categories: "direct support for research" and "accompaniment of research".
