"From the beginning, research was performed at the Ecole Superieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles de la Ville de Paris [Superior School of Physics and Chemistry of the City of Paris], created in 1882 to blend the education, basic and applied research, and industrial training. Since then, the school became a source of researchers in the field of radioactivity, at the same time playing a key role in training for the industrial radioelements. With a prestigious past, alert to the outside, and resolutely turned to the future, ESPCI experienced many Nobel awards. Sharing the 1903 Nobel Prize with Marie Curie and Henri Becquerel, Pierre Curie stated: 'For over twenty years I worked at the Ecole Supérieure de Physique et Chimie,' in an atmosphere of 'great freedom and passion for science.'"
