Its Science Village at the Technopole de l'Arbois
On Thursday 12 October 2023, the Village des Sciences de l'Arbois, the largest grouping of laboratories working in the field of environmental sciences, will host 40 workshops and 3 conferences for more than 600 primary school children from the southern region, thanks to the involvement of around a hundred researchers, teacher-researchers, technicians, engineers, managers, staff from the Technopôle de l'Arbois and many players in regional scientific communication.
New dates
This year, the village is extended on Saturday 7 October 2023 at the media library in La Roque d'AnthéronIn the south of Luberon, with workshops and conferences on the theme of "Water: a living resource".
An event open to all, from 2pm to 7pm.
Find out more about CEREGE in Venelles on Saturday 14 October for a workshop and conference on the theme of water.
2023: Science and sport as a national theme
What does it mean to be a researcher, what is his or her life and daily routine? What makes their research qualitative? What makes the difference?
Research is often portrayed in lab coats, with test tubes, analysis and studious reflection, far removed from the image of the trained explorer. Yet very often, the researcher has to reach the inaccessible and swaps his lab coat for the hyper-technical equipment of the explorer.
In environmental geosciences, we need to be prepared for the many challenges that lie ahead.
Those involved in research at CEREGE bear witness to this in this focus.
This event is organised by CEREGE (Centre Européen de Recherche et d'Enseignement des Géosciences de l'Environnement) with the support of the following organisations Petits Débrouillardsin partnership with Technopole Environnement Arbois-Méditerranée, l'Aix-Marseille University, l'Observatoire de Sciences de l'Univers Institut Pythéas, l'IMBE (Mediterranean Institute of Biodiversity and Marine and Continental Ecology), the Environmental Chemistry Laboratoryand the Marseille Astrophysics Laboratory (LAM). Scientists from theIRDtheINRAé Recover (Aix-en-Provence), theMediterranean Institute for Environmental Transition (ITEM), the Collège de Francethe Sainte Victoire Nature Reserve and the Aix-en-Provence Natural History Museum.
The Village des Sciences de l'Arbois is also supported by the Aix-Marseille Provence metropolitan authority, the EN ECCOREV and the Southern Region.
