2016 "Young Researchers" program and conference

This year, for the fifth year in a row, the Institut Pasteur hosted several young scientists as part of the "Young Researchers" program it is involved in. This scientific outreach initiative, supported by the Arbre des Connaissances (APSR) organization, offers young high school students the chance to be partnered by experienced scientists for hands-on sessions in the Institut Pasteur’s laboratories. Four students from the Georges Duhamel and Jacques Decour high schools were partnered by scientists in three laboratories this year.

As a follow-up to these hands-on training sessions, the sixth edition of the Conference for Young Researchers will be held on the Institut Pasteur campus on June 1. At this event, the students will speak about their experiences and be presented with a certificate. The conference, which brings the 2015-2016 season to a close, will take place in the Jacques Monod lecture hall at 5.30pm.

Feel free to come along and show your support to these young researchers!
