Giancarlo Rizza is a specialist in 4D additive manufacturing, electron microscopy and nanostructuring. For ten years, he created and directed the interdisciplinary microscopy centre at École Polytechnique (CimeX). In this framework, he coordinated the Nan'eau project (labelled strategic by the Université Paris-Saclay) for the development of a multi-correlative microscopy platform (optical, electronic and X-ray). Giancarlo Rizza has also collaborated with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). He is a member of the steering committee of the international conference "Radiation Effects in Insulators" (REI), of the Groupement National de Recherche (GdR) NACRE (Nanocrystals in dielectrics for electronics and optics) and of the "Chaire Arts&Sciences" of the Ecole Polytechnique-ENSAD-Fondation Carasso. In this context, he develops the use of intelligent materials in research-creation practices and is interested in their dissemination in scientific conferences as a means of communication with society.
Isabelle Dumé holds a PhD in physics. She collaborates with various scientific magazines and media, public and private institutions, and actors in higher education and research in France and worldwide.
Cécile Michaut holds a doctorate in chemistry from the University of Paris-XI Orsay. She was a lecturer for two years before branching off into science journalism in 1999. Her collaborations include Le Monde, La Recherche, Pour la Science, Science et vie, Sciences et Avenir, Environnement Magazine... She also teaches science communication and media training for several research organisations and universities. She founded the company Science et partage (www.scienceetpartage.fr), and published the book "Vulgarisation scientifique, mode d'emploi" (EDP Sciences) in 2014.
