The MIO launches the 1st "Cédric Garnier" Award of Excellence

The Cédric GARNIER Award of Excellence is awarded each year in May by the MIO laboratory. It was created to honour the memory of Cédric GARNIER and the values he embodied: excellence, scientific rigour, for the development of innovative, original or remarkable scientific research in oceanography.
A research professor at the University of Toulon within the Mediterranean Institute of Oceanology (MIO), a specialist in analytical chemistry in the environment, Cédric GARNIER combined a high scientific level, experimental rigour, generosity and great humanity. This prize rewards a young MIO researcher for his work that combines Cédric's scientific quality, multidisciplinarity and human values.
