Training courses, meetings and resources for cultural and scientific mediation professionals
The École de la Médiation is a multi-partner project run by Universcience in association with three teaching and research institutions (Cnam, Université Paris-Saclay and Université Paris Cité) and 3 scientific mediation structures (Les Petits Débrouillards, Planète Science and Traces).
