Universcience organizes from October 11 to 17, 2025 a new residence of «Young international scientific talents», in the continuity of its international action with young generations. Selected participants will be welcome for a week, at the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie (Paris) with forty young scientists from all over the world, and they will be involved in a scientific communication program related to biodiversity, and sustainable agriculture (including aquaculture). The program will be conducted in both English and French.
Candidates should be over 18 and under 40 years old, demonstrate communication skills on complex subjects and have a recognized experience in a scientific field related to the theme of the residency. This could include researchers, academics or teachers, bloggers, science journalists, engineers, digital professionals, museologists.
The young professionals will be welcomed at the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie and the Etincelles du Palais de la découverte for a discovery of the site and the establishment’s know-how, including hands-on workshops and a presentation of their projects. They will be accompanied by the Ecole de la Médiation, a multi-partner structure coordinated by Universcience, which offers ongoing training for professionals involved in the dissemination of knowledge.
In addition to Universcience sites, the young scientists will discover partner sites (scientific organizations, cultural institutions, research organizations, etc.), and take part in scientific mediation workshops. More generally, they will discuss the issues of innovation, inclusion, critical thinking and sustainable development, which are the pillars of Universcience’s establishment project.
All the expenses will be covered by the organisers.
