Knowledge of the scientific world

Teaching takes the form of a project based on a primarily bibliographic approach. It involves a study of epistemology and the history of science focusing on the work of a scientist in the fields of Life Sciences or Earth and Space Sciences. Students must highlight the key points of the scientist's work, placing them in the scientific, historical, and political context of their time, highlighting advances and controversies, contributions to science, and interests in scientific mediation. At the end of their work, carried out under the supervision of a tutor, students produce a written thesis, a poster, and an oral presentation.
