For the 5th consecutive year, the LCB is strongly involved in the “Apprentis Chercheurs” program of the Arbre des Connaissances association. Jean-Raphaël Fantino and Mireille Ansaldi are the local referents for this device which offers laboratories to welcome during the school year a pair of apprentice researchers from 3rd year classes at Edgar Quinet college and 1st year classes at Saint Charles high school.
During the 10 sessions spread throughout the year, on Wednesday afternoons, our Apprentice Researchers are carrying out a real research project, the results of which they present during a congress held at the beginning of June. This device is a real success within our institute and especially in our laboratory where each year we have been able to welcome 2 to 3 pairs. This is an opportunity for these Apprentice Researchers to discover the world of scientific research and to be fully involved in a mini project supervised by members of the scientific teams and platforms who participate in the system. The opportunity to trigger real vocations in some.
