PARCC welcomes young participants from L’Arbre des Connaissances

On 3 June 2026, the PARCC had the pleasure of hosting a new “Apprentis Chercheurs” (Young Researchers) Day, organized under the auspices of the L’Arbre des Connaissances association.

This special day brought together middle and high school students for a moment of discovery, exchange, and scientific dialogue focused on cardiovascular and kidney diseases. Through presentations and discussions with researchers, participants were introduced to major public health challenges, current research advances, and the scientific approaches used to better understand these diseases.

The event fully reflected the mission of L’Arbre des Connaissances: inspiring young people to engage with science, broadening their horizons, fostering critical thinking, and strengthening the links between research, education, and society.

By opening its doors to these young participants, PARCC reaffirmed its commitment to promoting scientific culture and encouraging the next generation to explore careers in research and healthcare.

We warmly thank the organizers on the PARCC side, Dominique Charue and Stéphane Camus, as well as all the researchers and speakers who contributed to the success of this enriching day through their enthusiasm, expertise, and willingness to share their knowledge.
