AUF Western Europe is launching a competition to reward the best popular science content written in French by a young researcher.
The research carried out by young researchers within its network is characterized by its great dynamism. The call aims to highlight the many initiatives that question and participate in the rapprochement between science, culture and society. These initiatives bear witness to an innovative and accessible scientific communication approach. Through this competition, AUF thus intends to encourage other means of communication for the dissemination of knowledge.
