EPFL-WISH Foundation | Erna Hamburger Award 2022 - Anne Lacaton

Since 2006, the Erna Hamburger Prize distinguishes influential, leading women scientists who are transforming their field and executing change. The prize is awarded by the EPFL-WISH Foundation (Women In Science and Humanities).
This independent foundation was created through the initiative of EPFL women professors, with the aim of encouraging careers and the promotion of women in scientific and technical fields. The prize is named after Dr. Erna Hamburger, who was the first woman promoted to the rank of full professor at EPFL, and who continues to inspire students and researchers today.
The Erna Hamburger Prize 2022 was awarded to Anne Lacaton, professor emerita of ETH Zürich and visiting professor at EPFL during a ceremony held on November 7 at the Rolex Forum on the EPFL campus.
