The Alumni Association of Tongji University in France organized the first “Qidi” award ceremony on Friday, April 19, 2024, in Shanghai. The event was supported by the Alumni Association of Tsinghua in France and was held at the Consulate Residence in Shanghai. Nearly 80 guests attended the ceremony.
The “Qidi” award was created by the Alumni Association of Tongji in France and honors two female scientists or engineers annually who have contributed to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations member states in 2015. This distinction honors Professor WU Qidi, former president of Tongji University and former vice-minister of Chinese education, recognized for her work in fostering Franco-Chinese cooperation in the field of education. One of the main objectives of the award is to highlight female scientists and engineers and promote examples of female success to inspire young girls.
The 2023 Qidi Award winners were chosen from 11 candidates from 9 countries by a jury chaired by Professor WU Qidi. The award recipients are Professor Xiaoying Zhuang from Leibniz Universität Hannover in Germany and Tongji University in China, and Professor Patricia Crifo from École Polytechnique in Paris, recognized for their exceptional contributions to research and teaching.
At the ceremony, Professor Wu Qidi spoke and personally presented the awards to the two laureates. The Consul General of France in Shanghai, Mr. Joan Valadou, the Vice President of Innovation for Asia at Saint-Gobain, Mr. Alain Zanoli, and the representative of the Fondation de France, Mr. Julien-Loïc Garin, offered their congratulations to the laureates, emphasizing the importance of strengthening Franco-Chinese relations in scientific, technological, and educational fields and providing more opportunities for women in these sectors.

Beyond the PhD – CREST Series 2: How would you define a PhD?
Last year, CREST introduced a new series of videos on the PhD theme. Léa Bou Sleiman & Martin Mugnier were interviewed for this first episode of “Beyond the PhD”. The 4th year economics PhD students present their career at CREST and their participation in the International Job Market.
In 2024, the Beyond the PhD series is focused on the definition of a PhD.
In doing so, four PhD students from CREST have participated in this interview series:
- Reda Alami Chentoufi, 1st year PhD student in Finance-Insurance (CREST-GENES)
- Emma Bonutti d’Agostini, 1st year PhD student in Sociology (CREST-GENES)
- Yiyun Zheng, 2nd year PhD student in Economics (CREST-Ecole polytechnique)
- Clara Carlier, 3rd year PhD student in Statistics (CREST-GENES)
With the participation of Prof. Emmanuelle Taugourdeau, Research Director at CNRS and Deputy Director at CREST, all four PhD students answered some questions about the PhD program: how would they describe it, what is of importance in a PhD and their recommendations to future PhD students.
All videos are now available on the CREST’s YouTube account.
We want here to promote the interview highlights that key points of all interviews in one.
Below, you will find all videos available in the scope of the Beyond the PhD video series 2.

“The transmission of Monetary Policy Shocks” by Silvia Miranda-Agrippino and Giovanni Ricco – 13(3), (pp. 74-107) July 2021
Commonly used instruments for the identification of monetary policy disturbances are likely to combine the true policy shock with information about the state of the economy due to the information disclosed through the policy action. We show that this signaling effect of monetary policy can give rise to the empirical puzzles reported in the literature, and propose a new high-frequency instrument for monetary policy shocks that accounts for informational rigidities. We find that a monetary tightening is unequivocally contractionary, with deterioration of domestic demand, labor and credit market conditions as well as of asset prices and agents’ expectations.

Alicia Bassière wins second place at the Rencontres Technology for Change 2024.
Alicia Bassière is a 4th year PhD student at CREST-Ecole polytechnique in energy economics, specializing mainly in the electricity market, supervised by David Benatia and Peter Tankov.
Alicia is committed to the fight against global warming, focusing on energy as a fundamental component.
For the third edition of the Rencontres Technology for Change, Alicia won second place during the Pitch for Change competition based on the 180-second thesis principle.
Alicia was able to present her thesis work, which involves modeling uncertainty in long-term investments in power generation capacity. In particular, she is working on various sources of uncertainty: electricity consumption, fuel prices, the number of players in the market and renewable production. Alicia uses advanced probabilistic methods for this, which she has popularized as tarot cards.
Beyond her thesis, Alicia is passionate about making economic research and the energy transition accessible to the general public. To this end, she actively participates in events promoting science and collaborates with journalists. In 2022, she joined the TF1 Group’s Committee of Environmental Experts to improve journalists’ understanding of energy and climate issues, occasionally appearing on the French TV channel LCI to share ideas.
As part of her scientific activity, Alicia Bassière is working on several research projects, jointly with her thesis supervisors:
– Moving forward blindly: capacity planning, uncertainty and environmental targets (joint work with David Benatia)
– A mean-field game model of electricity market dynamics (joint work with Peter Tankov and Roxana Dumitrescu).
