Serial 3 : this thesis defended at the University of DIJON on June 12, 1987 was validated
by a jury made up of six researchers from this university and two guest researchers.
This university was known for another affair: that of the brilliant BOGDANOFF brothers.
These two brothers, who supported their respective theses, were accused of fraud by
researchers and when one of them was convicted in court for questioning their work,
they were more than three hundred to sign a petition to support their colleague when
logically it was the jury that had to be incriminated. Certain signatories had absolutely no
competence in the field of the work of these brothers which shows the corporatism of
this universe that the Ethics Committee of the CNRS itself describes as a club where all
blows are allowed. In a press release, the President of this university had to declare that
these two theses have been validated by juries in accordance with legal texts. However,
the legality argument did not resolve the problem posed by this case.
Serial 4 : title of the thesis : Study of the electro-optical properties of iron-doped BaTiO3
Diffraction efficiency and recording speed of holographic networks.
Serial 5 : the demonstration of plagiarism and the citation of convenience under the
authority of the directors of this university is provided.
Serial 6 : in the same laboratory of this university, a plagiarist-impostor fellow also did a
thesis entitled Electro-optical properties of pure Barium Titanate and iron-doped that he
defended on June 6, 1986.
Serial 7 : CNRS Ethics Committee : a silent, contemptuous and incoherent president.
It appeared during this investigation that the Chairman of this committee, Jean-Gabriel
GANASCIA, has not reacted at all since he was seized by the complainants in December
2017 while during a radio broadcast his attitude was different :
On April 19, 2016, on France Inter Radio, during the program "La tête au carré" hosted by
Mathieu Vidard and entitled "Scientific impostures from yesterday to today" the
presentation and the exchange were as follows:
Jean-Gabriel Ganascia : mathematician and philosopher, professor at the Pierre and
Marie Curie Institute, artificial intelligence research field, also works on the philosophy of
ethics, he is a member and president of Comets, the CNRS ethics committee.
Mathieu VIDARD (17 ') : "Do you track down the impostors within COMETS, is this one of
your missions".
Jean-Gabriel Ganascia : "Our mission is not to track down the impostors themselves but
on the other hand to ensure that the CNRS can find out as much as possible the allegations
of fraud and then try to deal with them ...".
