Water is a source of life, but it can be untamable (floods, high water) or polluted by human activity (micro-plastics, noise disturbance of marine animals, etc.). From land management and hydrography to river decontamination, scientists at Gustave Eiffel University are studying a wide range of topics. It's an opportunity for them to take the plunge and introduce young audiences to their fascinating research subjects.
The Gustave Eiffel University is offering remote meetings between its scientists and secondary school students from the Seine-et-Marne department. Register your class to enter the surprising world of science, thanks to motivated speakers renowned for their scientific expertise!
You'll have a choice of several one-hour workshops, led by scientific mediators. The workshops will be prepared in advance by teachers and speakers.
The program will be available on the Reflexcience knowledge discovery platform
Find out more about the Université Gustave Eiffel: it is a national university, created in 2020, bringing together training and research establishments with recognized specializations in the fields of sustainable cities. It has 6 campuses spread over 5 regions, including one in Champs/Marne.
In partnership with the Sénart-Fontainebleau IUT and in particular the Biological Engineering department, the organization of the Fête de la Science makes sense in terms of student training. Students in the Biological Engineering, Environmental Sciences and Ecotechnologies, and Dietetics and Nutrition courses will be examining issues around the theme of "Oceans of Knowledge" from an environmental, biological and nutritional point of view. In coordination with their teachers, they will be able to offer an audience of different ages the chance to discover their scientific experiments.
For this 33rd edition, the Sénart-Fontainebleau IUT is offering a wide range of events, with a balance between fun activities and scientific information, covering fundamental sciences, techniques and applications in a variety of fields. Aimed at young and old alike, they are designed to put the spotlight on science: workshops, demonstrations, experiments: experimental protocols created on the theme of "Oceans of knowledge" by students in their 2nd year of Biological Engineering at the Sénart-Fontainebleau IUT games: quizzes, treasure hunts and board games at the Sénart-Fontainebleau IUT conferences: teacher-researchers will be giving talks on water, and LEESU scientists and science enthusiasts will be meeting
The Laboratoire Eau, Environnement et Systèmes Urbains (Leesu) is a French environmental science research laboratory specializing in the study of water and its management in urban and peri-urban environments. It is a joint laboratory of the École des Ponts ParisTech and the Université Paris-Est Créteil shows: film screenings on the theme of "oceans" with the La Rotonde cinema in Moissy-Cramayel exhibition: water-related professions (marine biologist, hydrobiologist, etc.)
The city is not just a densely populated space, it's also a place to live, offering jobs, services and much more. Using examples that illustrate the different facets of our city, we can identify the stages in the construction of our urban space.
Faced with the new challenges facing cities, public authorities and citizens must work together to develop and implement the most effective solutions.
With Anne Ruas, geography researcher at Gustave Eiffel University
CHILDREN ALSO!
The multimedia librarians are organizing workshops for children (aged 6 and over) to coincide with the 3 discussions in the cycle. They can build, draw, cut out, glue and color
murals and models.
Come and discover ecology, nature, sustainable development and the environment in our science village and during our orienteering race. Come and meet the members of our unit through scientific workshops and local players such as SMECTON de la Vallée du Loing and other associations passionate about sustainable development and the environment. During the orienteering race, participants will find 10 hidden beacons separated by riddles based on the research themes supported by our unit: terrestrial (animal and plant, soil) and aquatic ecology. The stands in the welcome village will take the form of fun, interactive workshops to help you discover our research and learn to listen to our planet.
