L'Experimentarium is a research discovery program for middle and high school students, initiated at the University of Burgundy. It enables doctoral students to learn about scientific mediation and to share their research work through encounters that are rich on a human, intellectual and educational level. Inalco joined the Experimentarium Network at the end of 2024, alongside nine other universities, enabling eight PhD students to be trained in scientific mediation.

The aim of this final session of the seminar is to present the Experimentarium program and discuss the various issues around training in scientific mediation through the testimony of a PhD student who took part in the Experimentarium program.
