Exhibition: Women in Physics

Organized by the Mission for the Place of Women through the CNRS and GANIL (Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds – National Large Heavy-Ion Accelerator)

This exhibit presents the numerous aspects of research in physics through the profiles of 15 women, including the advancement of knowledge, teaching and training of young people and interdisciplinary studies. These women direct research projects and are involved in international collaborations. The excellence of their work supports the major technical projects for which they are responsible. They are able to harness advancements in science to the service of society in the fields of health, the environment, etc.

These women from different countries are contributing to the development of the European research arena. A wide range of disciplines are represented through their various backgrounds and careers.

This pedagogical tool can be presented to students and teachers in meetings and discussions organized by educational institutions.
