Synchrotron@School

Synchrotron@School is an innovative educational programme which originated in 2013 as a partnership between the ESRF and the “Académie de Grenoble”.

The programme consists of a full day of scientific immersion tailored specifically for high-school students. These days are followed by more than 1500 students a year.

Goals:

• to promote sciences and scientific careers to pupils
• to contribute to the development of a scientific and technical culture and to the understanding of the relationship between science and society
• to introduce young people to the functioning of a major international research centre and to the different types of research carried out
• to raise awareness of the diversity of professions at the ESRF
• to strengthen the scientific knowledge linked to school curriculums
• to provide students with an experience of group work, autonomy, and oral and written communication

Synchrotron@School is part of GIANT@School, which offers various educational actions on the GIANT campus.
