ScienceInfuse is a platform dedicated to promoting, disseminating and popularizing science and technology.
Its activities focus on three main priorities:
fostering scientific curiosity from an early age,
promoting science and technology among secondary-school students by connecting them with the university environment,
bringing university research to a wider audience by helping people grasp current scientific approaches, methods and issues more easily.
Scientific expertise
To achieve its goals, Scienceinfuse implements a coherent set of actions and services. The platform:
organizes scientific workshops, demonstrations and outreach activities, both on university campuses and in schools, enabling participants to directly engage with experimental methods and discover science firsthand;
involves researchers in science outreach by encouraging them to take part in educational activities, share their expertise and strengthen dialogue between research and society;
supports science communication and outreach through guidance, training and assistance in developing effective communication practices for non-specialist audiences;
designs, produces and distributes educational resources—such as experiment kits, teaching sheets and multimedia materials—intended for teachers and their classes;
coordinates major science outreach events, including the Printemps des Sciences, and contributes to regional and national initiatives in collaboration with interuniversity networks such as Sciences.be.
