Together, let's host the Pasteurdon 2025 open house: call for volunteers

For this year's 19th edition of Pasteurdon, we are giving the public a chance to visit the Institut Pasteur campus on the afternoon of October 8, from 2pm. A wide range of events will be organized for visitors of all ages keen to find out more about the Institut Pasteur, with scientific workshops, laboratory tours, lectures, exhibitions and fun activities. This is a great way to show people what goes on at the Institut Pasteur from a different perspective, while reminding them why donations are so important.

To make this Discovery Day a success, we need your help. Several of you volunteered in previous years and have already stepped up for this edition. And it's not too late! Scientists, technicians, engineers, postdocs and students, administrative staff – anyone interested in getting involved is more than welcome. Since its early days, Pasteurdon has been a wonderful way of bringing the Pasteurian community together for a common cause. You could for example volunteer to run scientific workshops, guide visitors around campus, tell people about the activities available, or greet visitors.

A dedicated Pasteurdon 2025 ePasteur page is available so that you can all find out about the arrangements for this new edition.

To volunteer or suggest activities, either register or email ideas via the following link.

A volunteer permission request form will be created and you will need the agreement of your manager. The form will be sent to you as soon as you request to become a volunteer.
