For the 20th anniversary of the French Science week, the IBS invited high school students and primary school pupils to discover the daily life of researchers, the different jobs offered in a research institute and the interest of a thorough knowledge of proteins.
A general presentation and three workshops (RMN, Cristallography and Biochemistry) were proposed to125 high school students.
