 Objectif Sciences International

Our NGO organizes scientific education and research programs which aim to find solutions for sustainable development issues (water, food, energy, biodiversity, climate...). It brings together volunteers of all ages who come to learn and apply scientific techniques within our participatory action research projects. These activities for learning about research through doing scientific research take the form of educational school trips or camps for children and teenagers, or citizen science trips for adults, students, businesses or public organizations.
Our NGO encloses several programs of different scientific topics (biodiversity, robotics, geology, astronomy), but also, for example, a program for including girls and women in the practice of sciences or a program of social diversity in sciences.
