IJCLab participated in the Fête de la Science on the campus of the Faculty of Sciences of Orsay as part of the reception of schoolchildren, on Friday October 7 and for all public, the afternoon of Sunday October 9. Workshops and visits to platforms were provided by volunteer staff: technicians, engineers, doctoral students and researchers from the laboratory, i.e. around fifteen people.

Nearly 300 visitors of all ages came to enjoy the various activities offered at three laboratory sites at their own pace.
