Awards
University Institute of France
The Institut Universitaire de France was created in 1991 to encourage academics to achieve excellence, to contribute to the feminization of the research sector and to strive for a balanced distribution of university research in the country. It brings together a group of researchers elected for 5 years, after analysis of their application and their project by an internationally renowned jury.
Christophe Quézel-Ambrunaz and Pascal Hot have been appointed members of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) effective October 1, 2019, for a five-year term.
