More than 2,000 male and female students will benefit from the programme. It includes 95 workshops in which the students will see different scientific experiments. The experiments will be performed in innovative, attractive and exciting ways. The workshops target around 2,375 participants. There will be 25 scientific ceremonies involving around 2,500 participants and 95 presentations for the “educational dome” so as to project 3D scientific movies in the presence of 1,900 participants.
