10th edition of the “1000 researchers in schools” campaign – 7 Nov-3 Dec

The scientific campaign operation for secondary school students “1000 researchers in schools in France and abroad” is celebrating its 10th anniversary!

It will take place between 7 November and 3 December in schools.

These meetings between secondary school classes and scientists from laboratories at the cutting edge of medical research are a special opportunity to discover the work of researchers and the challenges of tomorrow’s medicine.

All over France, science and technology teachers have been able to schedule a researcher to come into their classrooms to present his or her work and answer students’ questions about research and also about training for the many different jobs in the laboratory. During this meeting, young people will be able to learn about the latest advances in biomedical research, gene therapy, stem cells, etc., and about the daily life of a researcher.
