For Girls in Science
25 high school girls from the Lycées Monge and Guist’hau enrolled in the L'Oréal Foundation's "For Girls in Science" program were welcomed on April 24 to the IMT Atlantique premises, at our initiative and in particular that of Sara Diglio and Julie Champion, research teachers at the laboratory and L'Oréal ambassadors.
The L'Oréal Foundation has developed a program called "For Girls and Science", designed to encourage high-school girls from the second year of secondary school onwards to take up scientific careers.
The high-school girls were welcomed by Catherine Hellio, Managing Director of IMT Atlantique, and were given enthusiastic presentations by female researchers on the research and teaching activities of the laboratory and our F&H Equality Committee. We were also fortunate to have a testimonial from a winner of the l'Oréal Prize, a former PhD student at Subatech.
The girls were able to exchange ideas informally with representatives of different categories (doctoral student, technician, administrator and researcher) during a "science dating" event. Subatech's major international research projects, such as KM3NeT and Xemis, were presented, as was the MERITE project of IMT Atlantique's DELMA department.
It was an enriching day for everyone.
150th anniversary of the SFP : accelerator physics exhibition
As part of the celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of the Société Française de Physique (SFP), Subatech, in collaboration with Arronax Nantes, hosted an exhibition on 21 and 22 February at the IMT Atlantique premises, featuring a range of activities designed to introduce visitors to the world of particle accelerators. Secondary school pupils and site staff were able to take part in 6 fun experiments:
- The superconductor train
- Experiments with a magnet
- Accelerator salad bar
- Van De Graaff generator
- The round of electrons
- Chladni figures
Our thanks go to Anne Le Pennec, Scientific Communications Officer at Arronax Nantes, for co-organising this event, to the representatives of the SFP (Thibault Genestier, Anne-Sophie Chauchat and Suheyla Bilgen) who made the trip and to the Subatech staff who took part in the activities.
Master Class CERN 2024
Over the past few years, some 6,000 students from more than 20 countries have been visiting high-energy physics laboratories to become researchers for a day by participating in the Masterclasses organised by CERN.
The morning is devoted to discovering research in high-energy physics: the world of particles, their detection and the associated professions. The afternoon is reserved for the exercise during which the students will put themselves in the shoes of a physicist. The results obtained are then presented and discussed during a videoconference with CERN in which other classes from around the world will also participate. The day ends with a short quiz.
Students will be able to analyse data from the ALICE experiment acquired the previous year from collisions at the LHC (the world's most powerful particle accelerator). By searching through the debris of proton collisions, the budding physicists will look for strangeness...
This year, Guillaume Batigne and François Arleo, Subatech researchers, welcomed pupils from the Lycée Saint Stanislas in Nantes on 15 February, who thoroughly enjoyed the event. Like every year, this event is being duplicated worldwide.
