As part of the 'Mistral' workshop, a special session was devoted to our colleague Cédric Garnier, who passed away in May 2018. It wasn't an easy exercise, but Stéphane Mounier and Benjamin Oursel managed to evoke their colleague and friend, Cédric Garnier, with a great deal of emotion and humour. They recalled the many initiatives, programmes and research projects in which Cédric was involved, and emphasised his scientific rigour, his hard work, his taste for teamwork and his passion for his profession as a teacher-researcher. Above all, they praised Cédric's human qualities, his ability to combine serious work with friendly conviviality over a beer or a good Listrac.
A "Cédric Garnier" prize will be created in 2019 to reward a young MIO researcher each year.
