On 1st October 2025, teachers and researchers will meet at Hydropolis, on the site of the UNESCO ICIREWARD Centre, partner of the project, for the second in-person working session of "Du labo à la classe". This new edition focuses on a crucial theme : water 💧. The aim? To transpose scientific articles into posters and educational activities. These materials, which are scientifically rigorous but adapted to the level of the students, then become valuable resources for secondary school teachers. The results are compiled in the "Du labo à la classe" workbooks, which are distributed on a large scale (12,000 copies for previous editions).
