Themed Tour
This tour is designed and organized in conjunction with the teacher’s educational project. Personalized support is offered to teachers to help them develop and prepare their project.
Through its motto, “Docet omnia,” the Collège de France is a multidisciplinary center for teaching “Research in the Making.” This interdisciplinary approach and the constant renewal of its activities make it possible to explore with a class themes spanning a wide range of research fields, from the experimental sciences (chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, computer science, astronomy) to the humanities (history, literature, law, economics, philosophy, anthropology).
The proposed tour combines a historical overview of this place of memory and knowledge with an opportunity for discussion and dialogue with scientific teams from the Collège de France’s institutes and laboratories about their research and professional careers.
The thematic tour also offers the opportunity to delve deeper into the work of a past or present professor at the Collège de France, with access to the institution’s archives and its rich heritage collection.
