Call for participation – 2026 ‘Voices of Researchers’ Regional Programme
Take part in the latest edition of the ‘Paroles de Chercheuses et Chercheurs’ programme.
This initiative, launched by the Île-de-France Region in 2020 and renewed in 2023, offers original and interactive talks led by researchers in secondary schools across the Île-de-France region.
The aim is to introduce secondary school pupils to the diversity of research roles and scientific careers in order to inspire an interest in science, particularly amongst female pupils, who are still under-represented in these fields.
Participation
Researchers interested in taking part this academic year are invited to express their interest to the Cercle FSER, which is responsible for running the programme and collecting applications: equipepdcc@etik.com

About the regional programme
As part of this programme, 320 sessions have already been held in 198 secondary schools across the Île-de-France region during the 2020–2026 academic years, involving 197 researchers, 53 per cent of whom are women. Nearly 7,000 pupils, 52 per cent of whom are girls, have thus benefited from this innovative programme.
