Ecology Fair-1

This EU begins during the back-to-school seminar (integration).

During this course, students will participate in the design and implementation of two major annual events in the field of ecology: the biodiversity festival (Festi'Versité) and the national biodiversity fair (SNB). Since 2008, these events have brought together all the players in the professional ecology sector in France, enabling them to get to know each other and raise awareness of their work.

In conjunction with partner organizations (OFB, F-CEN, UPGE, F-CPIE, UM, CNRS, local authorities, etc.) and the professional organizing body, students assist in the management of both events, occupying various positions according to their motivations, interests, and abilities (experience, skills, training offered) alongside volunteers from other programs (BTS): recruitment and reception of the public and speakers, media events, communication, safety (fire risk, first aid), logistics, fundraising, eco-responsibility, etc. Positions are offered through job descriptions to which students apply during the master's integration seminar.

Supported by an ad hoc structure (currently being set up) and under the direction of a steering committee bringing together their main stakeholders, these two events involve the assistance of students from the Master's program in Environmental Management at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Montpellier as part of their studies and through their student associations.

- Festi’Versité, the biodiversity festival. It raises awareness and educates the general public about environmental issues through activities, shows, games, conferences, screenings, and photo exhibitions. It takes place over a weekend in late October/early November at Montpellier Zoo.

- The National Biodiversity Fair. Serving as a forum for careers and training, a scientific and technical conference, and a professional networking event, it includes conferences and round tables, scientific and technical presentations, and professional recruitment and exchanges. The fair takes place over two days in January at the Montpellier Exhibition Center.
