École normale supérieure de Lyon

Lyon's research stands out in the new post-quantum era. Two algorithms designed by Damien Stehlé are among the 3 standards published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2024.
Let's take a look back at a game-changing innovation.

Étienne Ghys is CNRS emeritus research Director in Mathematics at ENS de Lyon and Permanent Secretary of the Académie des Sciences. He is the author of Ma petite histoire des nombres, published by Odile Jacob.

Alice Briole, Edwige Cyffers and Aurora Pignata, all graduates of ENS de Lyon, have been awarded grants from the L'Oréal-UNESCO program to support the involvement of young women in scientific research.

Louis-Alexandre Couston, Associate Professor of Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University at the Physics Laboratory, and Benjamin Wesolowski, CNRS Research at UMPA, have been awarded the prestigious "Starting" Grant from the European Research Council (ERC).

Congratulations to Samuel Angiboust (geology), Anne Benoit (computer science) and Grégory Miermont (mathematics), as well as to the alumni nominated.

Interview with Étienne Ghys, winner of the CNRS Medal for Scientific Mediation 2022.

A tireless promoter of the usefulness and beauty of mathematics, Étienne Ghys is one of the four recipients of this distinction created by the CNRS a year ago, to promote scientific mediation activities.

The CNRS and its partners are creating a new scientific interest group to bring together their mathematics skills to help the environment. 

Congratulations to Olivier Terrier, research fellow at CIRI, recipient of the CNRS Bronze Medal for 2021.

Stéphanie Jacquet, Ida Tucker and Monu Kaushik are among the 35 Young Talents of the 2020 L'Oréal - UNESCO Prize for Women and Science.

The European Research Council (ERC) has just communicated the list of beneficiaries of the Advanced grants. Each recipient will have up to €2.5 million over five years for his or her research project. Among the 185 projects funded is the LDRam project by Alice Guionnet.

For the second edition, the CNRS call for projects '80 Prime' has once again given special emphasis to interdisciplinarity and risk-taking.

The 2020 Bôcher Memorial Prize will be awarded to Laure Saint-Raymond on January 16, 2020, during the Joint Prize Session at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Denver.

The first edition of Knowledge Summit was held in March 2018. It was organized on the occasion of the State visit of the President of the Republic in India and inaugurated by Mrs. Frédérique Vidal, Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation which helped to establish the roadmap for Franco-Indian cooperation for the coming years, in partnership with companies.

The Simons Foundation announced on June 4, 2019 the establishment of the Simons Collaboration on Wave Turbulence, directed by Jalal Shatah from NYU assisted by Laure Saint-Raymond from ENS de Lyon and Nicolas Mordant from UGA.

On Thursday, June 26, 2019, Shanghai's rankings by discipline were published.

ERC Consolidator Grants support promising researchers who are at the beginning of an independent research career. The consolidation of their own research team will be funded with the grant.

Each year, the CNRS rewards those who have contributed the most to the advancement of research.

On September 27-28, 2018 in Tieste, Italy was held "SISSA meets ENS de Lyon", the second of a series of Sissa/ENS de Lyon workshops devoted to strengthening the collaboration between the two institutions.
