Thierry Dauxois was named Chairman & CEO of the CNRS on 10 June 2026 by the French President Emmanuel Macron, on the recommendation of Philippe Baptiste, Minister of Higher Education, Research and Space. A physicist at the CNRS, Thierry Dauxois became head of CNRS Physics in July 2021, having previously acted as Vice-President for Research at the ENS in Lyon, from 2020 to 2021. He succeeds Antoine Petit, who was appointed in 2018.
“The CNRS is a remarkable institution whose mission has never been as essential. This is why I shall strive to give it room for action, in the service of an ambitious basic research that remains a prerequisite for our scientific sovereignty and our international influence,” Thierry Dauxois stresses .
We look forward to discussing the CNRS alumni network with Thierry Dauxois and learning about his ambitions and plans for our community...
Should we invite him to a webinar soon? ☺️
