As 2023 draws to a close, CRiCri (or simply Cricri) begins his journey through the CRC laboratories.
But who is Cricri? Cricri is CRC’s mascot bear for “positive sharing”, a concept that comes to us straight from Denmark, and arrived at CRC on the initiative of Marie-Noëlle Navas, our Prevention Officer.
According to its inventor, the object of positive sharing, our Cricri, highlights all the positive actions that people in a company carry out for each other.
In practice, Cricri is passed on from one colleague to another each week, as a thank-you for a positive action carried out by one for the other, whatever that action may be: help, support, explanation, service rendered… or just communicative good humor… there’s no shortage of positive actions.
At CRC, Cricri began its journey with Jean-Emmanuel Hugonnet, University Professor in Michel Arthur’s team, who has been a great help to his colleagues during recent work at CRC. In a week’s time, he’ll have to choose whom he’d like to thank and pass Cricri on to him. We’ll be following our mascot’s journey, complete with photos.

I’d like to express my gratitude to Fabienne Foufelle for agreeing in extremis to be the examiner for my Ephe dissertation, and for her invaluable help during the defense.
Sylvie Demaretz
- Step 7: Sylvie Demaretz, team Renal physiology and tubulopathies.
I entrust CriCri to Sylvie, from Gilles Crambert’s team, because she’s the person from whom I learned the love of research, rigor, a sense of responsibility and critical thinking. Her dedication and respect for safety rules command respect and admiration.
Dalila Haker

Aptly named, Angélique has made a major contribution to the CRC in organizing seminars and CRC days over the last few years !
