Introduction:

Marie Skłodowska-Curie

Dr. Juliane Sauer ▪ Horizon 2020 - We can do it! ▪ 18 June 2015▪ www.euresearch.ch

A mobile researcher:

Marie Sklodowska Curie (1867-1934) moved from Poland to France in 1891.

She was the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the only woman to be awarded in two

fields, 1903 in Physics and 1911 in Chemistry.

“After all, science is

essentially international,

and it is only through lack

of the historical sense that

national qualities have

been attributed to it.”
