Prof Bill Stirling, former ILL Director and ESRF DG, appointed a CMG

Twice each year the UK honours its citizens who held high office or rendered extraordinary service.

In the New Year’s Honours list just published, we are delighted to learn that Bill Stirling, formerly Director of the ILL and Director General of the ESRF, has been awarded the prestigious title of Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) for services to British science and international science collaboration. Bill is very pleased to receive this award in recognition of the work of the staff at the ILL and ERSF and the scientific communities that use our facilities.

Congratulations Bill from everyone at ILL and ESRF!
