This call is addressed to all French-speaking doctoral students, whatever their field of research, their nationality or their experience in science mediation. At the end of the call for participation, 56 young researchers will be selected to participate in the training. The selection criteria are those of diversity and motivation to participate. A selection of doctoral students whose university is a member of AUF Western Europe will be made by AUF, among those selected to participate in Science & You training.
Are researchers not sufficiently aware of opening up to the public? The University of Lorraine’s mission is to participate in better training of young researchers in this field, in order to open their minds to the contributions between research and society, their challenges, their audiences. Science & You opens its call for applications for doctoral student training.
The Science & You training takes the form of a mediation marathon, offering 15 hours of workshops supervised by pairs composed of a creative and a mediator, with the same objective: to popularize research. It is also a place for meetings and exchanges between young researchers from all walks of life. Doctoral students will be welcomed before the conference to be trained in different mediation practices: comics, contemporary theater, dance, object theater, puppets, escape game or storytelling.
Doctoral students selected to participate in the Science & You Mediation Marathon will benefit from 15 hours of training, cover for their accommodation, meals and entry to the Science & You conference. (See condition in the Support section)
You have between April 15 and May 28 to apply. The trainings will take place in Metz from November 14 to 16, 2021, ahead of the Science & You conference organized from November 16 to 19, 2021 at the Robert Schuman Congress Center in Metz, France.

RULES AND CONDITIONS OF TRAINING:
– Doctoral students are divided into groups according to their wishes expressed during registration.
– The training will take place in French only.
– At the beginning of the training, the referent researchers come to share their research with the group within each workshop and at the end of the marathon, each group submits its work on an online collaborative tool so the result will be shared during the conference.
– Mediation training is divided into 7 creative practice workshops. They are co-led by professionals in creation and scientific mediation:
Comic strip with Pierre-Etienne Bertrand, author and illustrator, Peb & Fox & Caroline Grandjean, head of the public department, museum center of the Greater Nancy metropolis
Comics offer the possibility of telling science and showing both the essential and the anecdotal, between seriousness and humor. All this requires looking at the script, the creation and animation of the characters or even the composition of a scene.
Tale with Léa Pellarin, storyteller & Delphine Charles, scientific communication officer at the University of Bordeaux
The tale is a story that is part of a tradition of oral transmission of a story that crosses time. Adapting the mediation of the sciences requires looking into the question of “lying-truth”, a mixture of fiction and reality.
Dance with Julia Blumberg, choreographer, performer and teacher & Magali Cabanas, in charge of scientific mediation projects, University of Franche-Comté
You have to see dance as an action, the place where something is happening. By combining the understanding of the gesture and the language of the body in which everyone brings their own material, the objective will be to compose a story, an emotion, to set the research in motion.
Escape Game with Cédric Lacrouts & Florian Bertholet, game creators, Les Jeux Thèmes & Coralie Biguzzi, scientific mediation officer, Mission Culture Scientifique of the University of Burgundy
To be meaningful, the practice of the escape game is a clever balance between seriousness and playfulness. Its design involves a reflection on the scenario, the puzzles, the production and the animation of the device.
Puppets with Yannick Toussaint, director and choreographer, Histoire d’Eux & Catherine Flauder, project manager for scientific and technical culture, University of Lorraine
In the puppet show, substance dictates form. Depending on the message to be conveyed and the story to be told, the types of puppets, their formats, rub shoulders with a variety of techniques combining images, hands, objects.
Contemporary theater with Justin Jaricot, actor and director, Le Saut du Tigre dans le Pasté & Didier Nectoux, director of the Mineralogy Museum MINES ParisTech
The theater is a vehicle for the human subject. It allows us to focus on the staging of knowledge, its construction, its reception by society. The object of science roots the spectator in reality but must not erase the play between the poetic and the rational.
Object theater with Antonia Leney-Granger, director of the Théâtre du Renard & Christian Goichon, brewer of ideas, LA Rochelle University
The theater of objects uses characters made up of common objects, symbols, representations, from the universe to be shared. The result is characters that are not too successful but conducive to the development of the imagination.
SELECTION CRITERIA :
– Only doctoral students can apply: if you have already defended your thesis, you are not eligible for training.
– The main selection criterion is motivation, this call is therefore addressed to all French-speaking doctoral students, whatever their field of research, their nationality or their experience in science mediation.
– when setting up groups, special attention will be paid to gender parity, the diversity of scientific disciplines, the diversity of nationalities represented, as well as the diversity of levels of practice in scientific mediation: beginners and experienced welcome!
– 14 applications are reserved for doctoral students from the University of Lorraine
CALENDAR :
You have between April 15 and May 28, 2021 to apply.
Applications will then be examined by the selection committee. Successful candidates will be notified by email at the end of June.
