The CCAM Symposium is an annual, interdisciplinary event that investigates the cultural landscape of our time. Acting as a bridge between the discoveries at CCAM and those on campus and beyond, it features discussions, exhibitions, performances, workshops, and more. In 2025, the symposium explores the theme of “illuminations.”

In addition to being the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne and the only person ever to have won Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry, Marie Curie welcomed other women into her lab. It was her lab from the untimely death of her husband, Pierre, in 1906, till her own death in 1934. She ran it, enlarged it, moved it into the imposing new Radium Institute, and peopled it with an international assembly of scientists, more than forty of whom were women, including her daughter Irène, the second woman to win a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
