Bayane Michotte de Welle, who completed her PhD at LPP, has been awarded the 2025 René Pellat Prize, a PhD thesis prize granted by the Plasmas Division of the French Physical Society. Her thesis, entitled “Statistical study of the global constraints governing magnetic reconnection at the Earth’s magnetopause”, focuses on the mechanisms controlling magnetic reconnection at the boundary between the solar wind and the Earth’s magnetosphere. In particular...

This summer school is organized once a year over the course of one week. It offers a unique opportunity to attend, free of charge, a 5-day summer school held in Roscoff (Brittany) at the Marine Station. The program is primarily intended for students entering a Master’s degree, but it is also well suited to current Master’s students wishing to broaden their academic horizons, as well as PhD students considering a change in research direction.
