It's the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the hundreds ofworkshops, events, exhibitions and trails dedicated to young and old alike, in numerous locations across France.

With these ten days of science awareness, the French Ministry of Education and Research hopes to encourage vocations and, above all, promote the work of scientific researchers. This year's theme is "Oceansof Knowledge", and we hope to make as many people as possible aware of the link between this theme and science. In Paris, most science museums are taking part(Cité des sciences et de l'industrie, Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle), joined by several higher education and research establishments, such as Collège de France and Sorbonne University.

Sorbonne University is one of France's most prestigious academic institutions, with a rich history dating back to the 13th century.
