It will also be an opportunity to question new stories and individual and collective commitment!

>> Project format: keep the health situation in mind

As in 2020 and 2021 and given the current health crisis, the conditions for organizing the Science Festival remain subject to the vagaries of the evolution of the epidemic and the resulting government decisions. We therefore remain vigilant to the evolution of the situation and renew the spirit of consultation between the departmental coordination and the project leaders to allow an event in compliance with health rules while allowing everyone to anticipate.

From now on, we invite you to consider:

• the potential adaptation of public gauges and the implementation of barrier measures.
• the proposal of online events or projects whether they are your major contribution or an alternative in the event of an unfavorable evolution of the epidemic.
• uncertainty regarding the possibility of holding large-scale events (science village, festivals, etc.).
