- Michèle Delaunay, Minister for the elderly and autonomy,
- Alain Anziani, Senator of the Gironde department,

«I did not understand everything, but a book was given to me and, even in English, I will make the effort for (understanding) the organic chemistry» said François Hollande with a smile, after the visit of the LCPO.
This visit allowed Prof. Georges Hadziioannou’s research group to introduce its works on organic electronics, where functional materials such as fluorinated polymers and nano-structurated polymers will replace silicon.
