Participation in the Science and Society forum in Occitania

Last update: 1 August 2022

We presented 2 initiatives of scientific mediation at the regional forum Science et Société and this forum was the occasion to discover the projects of other numerous actions of scientific and technical culture in the region.

Creation of a scientific briefcase - Tool / Training

We propose a physical and virtual case to explain scientific concepts such as the link between DNA, RNA and protein, the regulation and expression of genes, the concepts of biochemistry, agrobiodiversity,...
The objective of this kit, intended for high school teachers, the general public or journalists, is to popularize complex scientific concepts, to allow a better understanding of the research projects conducted by our unit.

Plants and us, a shared history - Animation

Based on the observation that the general public no longer pays attention to the plant origin of a large number of elements of everyday life, our UMR wished to make the presentation of the different plants on which it works, as well as the description of the research themes, fun and educational. Through a poster representing a scene of everyday life, the public becomes aware that plants are omnipresent in its daily life.
