In our group, we believe that science is a universal language that can enrich lives and communities around the world. One of our missions (in parallel to research) is to promote the understanding, importance of science, and to ignite a spark of curiosity within the non-scientific community. We are committed to sharing our passion for science with people of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures, and to inspire the next generation of scientists, teachers, entrepreneurs, policy-makers, etc.

Our outreach actions are also dedicated to improving access to science for diverse groups and fostering a diverse, inclusive and equitable community. We strive to provide high-quality and innovative science education that is accessible and equitable for all learners. We are committed to providing dedicated outreach and engagement to foster community relationships and promote science literacy. Our goal is to extend the reach and impact of science, and to provide solutions that improve the human condition.
