Diploma Conferences
2022/2023
Each year, conferences are offered to the students of the Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay in the large amphitheatre.
They offer an opening to societal, teaching and research issues.
They are part of the common base of scientific knowledge and can be validated as an activity for the ENS Paris-Saclay diploma.
The conferences of the 2022/2023 cycle are organized around 3 themes
- Pedagogy and didactics: learning to learn, learning to transmit, learning to see
- The climate: crossed views on contemporary climate issues
- Culture in heritage: Making heritage speak in its diversity
