Science Outreach Department

Our Mission

We promote science and technology among the younger audience through targeted and concrete actions. We inspire them to get involved in the STEM disciplines from an early age and thus building up tomorrow’s women and men scientists, technicians and engineers in Switzerland.

We spread scientific and technological knowledge to the general public so that scientific knowledge and issues are better understood by society.

Our programme, “Les Sciences, ça m’intéresse,” is based on an active and playful educational approach that awakens interest in science and technology, cultivates creativity and promotes the acquisition of scientific thinking and new knowledge in STEM fields. It is being implemented in many Swiss Cantons.

The programme includes actions that specifically encourage girls while raising awareness among parents and teachers on gender issues and the need for more women in STEM fields.
