Prix Schläfli 2024 award for the four best dissertations in natural sciences
Julia Reisenbauer (Chemistry), Jonathan Gruber (Mathematics), Gabriel Jorgewich-Cohen (Biology) and Gilles Antoniazza (Geosciences) were honoured with the Prix Schläfli 2024 for findings made in the context of their dissertations. Through this prize, the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) singles out the four most significant insights of young researchers at Swiss universities. The Prix Schläfli has been awarded since 1866.

28 jeunes ont participé le week-end dernier à la finale nationale des Olympiades suisses de physique à Aarau. Cinq d'entre eux ont été récompensés par des médailles d'or. Contrairement aux années précédentes, les gagnants ne participeront pas aux Olympiades internationales de physique - d'autres aventures les attendent:
