Success: the ENS de Lyon team wins the International Physicists’ Tournament 2023

Congratulations to the physics students of ENS de Lyon and their coaches for this wonderful victory. Remember their names and faces: Mathis Chevé, Rémy Dolbeault, Yannis Kefaloucos, Amaury Marchon, Till Person, Max Riedinger and their three coaches, Nicolas Plihon, Hugo Roussille and Nicolas Taberlet, have won, equally placed with Poland, the 2023 edition of the International Physicists' Tournament!. After 3 battles between the Polish team, the Russian team and the ENS de Lyon team - who took it in turns to be the presenter, critic and referee - the ENS de Lyon team and the Polish team obtained the same number of points and won the competition together. A first in the history of the Tournament. Our students had already finished second at the 10th edition of the French Physicists' Tournament, after having prepared the 9 set subjects over 6 months. Once selected for the IPT, the challenge was even greater. It was not just a question of focusing on the 9 subjects prepared for the FTP but also the team had to deal with the 8 additional subjects set by the jury of the international competition.
