On Saturday 15 October, the Observatoire Midi-Pyrenees (OMP) in Toulouse, France, is opening its doors to the public for a day of workshops, demonstrations and mini-conferences that will allow people to discover a plethora of research projects related to the sciences of the universe and the environment. Subjects range from the small fish of the Adour to the outer limit of the Universe, and will of course include… nitrogen!

The INSA coordination team will be joined by Les Petit.e.s Débrouillard.e.s d’Occitanie (APDOC) and four African researchers currently on secondment in Toulouse, to present the project and spark the public’s interest in nitrogen. In addition to a poster highlighting the project’s objectives, there will be hands-on activities about the nitrogen cycle and the important role it plays in our environmental and agricultural systems.

The event is being held as part of the Festival of Science, being held from 7 – 17 October across Metropolitan France.
