As part of its mission to disseminate and popularise scientific culture, the University of Avignon has been offering since 2013 MIDISCIENCES :
short" conferences, GENERAL PUBLICon Thursdays between 1pm and 2pm from January to mid-May.

This scheme is supported at the university by the Scientific and Technical Culture of the Research and Innovation Support Directorate with the support ofInstitute for Agrosciences, Environment and Health (AgES)The project will be carried out in collaboration with researchers from the disciplines represented at the University (University staff-Doctoral EPST researchers in Sciences and Agrosciences or Humanities and Social Sciences or guest researchers).

The dissemination of scientific culture is an important issue beyond the academic world because it is at the interface of several major axes: access to scientific knowledge for all citizens, the development of a taste for science in young people and the promotion of scientific and technical heritage.

We are offering a series of short lectures on a wide variety of subjects (30 min presentation and 30 min discussion) aimed at the university community, the general public in Avignon and social and economic partners. The aim is to convey the essentials of a research topic and then, during a discussion, to share questions and thoughts on emerging knowledge.

Midisciences are offered on both campuses:

January to mid-March, Campus Hannah Arendt, amphitheatre 2E01, 1pm to 2pm
From mid-March to mid-May, Jean-Henri Fabre Campus, Agrosciences amphitheatre from 1 to 2 p.m.

Different types of conferences and speakers:

Presentation (popularisation) of a research topic by one or more of the University's doctoral students;
Presentation (popularisation) of a research project by a researcher (university or other research organisation) or of a History of Science issue;
Presentation (popularisation) of the work of doctoral students as part of the "My thesis in 180 seconds" competition, or of students as part of the "36h Chrono de la création d'entreprise".
