Large public conferences and meetings

• The 'MobiNet' team (Joelle Thollot (at Artis), Fabrice Neyret and Franck Hétroy (at Evasion) plus a dozen of temporary assistants) organizes 8 practices per year on a half-day basis for about 150 senior high school students in the scope of INPG "engineer weeks". The purpose is to give a more intuitive practice of math and physics, and to give insights on programming and engineering. See Section  5.3 and http://www-evasion.imag.fr/mobinet/index.en.html .

  In addition to "engineer weeks", every year a group of "monitors" PhD students conducts an experimentation based on MobiNet with a high school class in the frame of the lectures. This year, 4 students advised by Fabrice Neyret and Frank Hetroy prepared class exercices for math and physics class in collaboration with the teachers on the topic of statistical physics (reports and booklets available on MobiNet web site: http://www-evasion.imag.fr/mobinet/index.en.html ).

  Moreover, Fabrice NEYRET presents the tool and the experiment in various workshop and institutes ("journées Greco", IREM, IUFM, etc.). He also maintains a web site repository.

• Fabrice Neyret takes part of various publics operations:

  • He co-animates some operations:

    • He is in the leading staff of "Observatoire Zetetique" (http://www.observatoire-zetetique.org/ ), an organisation which aims at promoting intelligent and scientific approach especially facing paranormal or pseudo-scientist thesis, by organising test protocols, enquiries, publications and broadcasts, public conferences, formations.

    • He is in the leading staff of the ``Cafés Sciences et Citoyen'' team (Grenoble), funded by the communication department of CNRS, and he maintains the web site http://www-evasion.imag.fr/cafesSC/ . Conferences are organised on a monthly basis.

  • He maintains web sites for various operations, plus some more related on research topics.

  • He participates as an expert to various public debates and press interviews.
