Teaching sciences and technology

The Pays du Mont-Blanc is an excellent base for scientists. Mountain ecosystems are very sensitive to variations in the climate and the effects of human activity on their evolution are very visible. That is why many specialists have chosen to work here. Their reports and analyses make it possible to find out how to protect our fragile land. Glaciologists, meteorologists, biologists, geologists and historians are happy to share their knowledge - initially with each other to optimize their research and then with the general public to make it aware of all the major challenges facing environmental protection. The Les Houches School of Physics receives the world's top physicists throughout the year at the Mont-Blanc Observatory which unites the work of glaciologist Luc Moreau and the Mountain Ecosystems and Mountain Nature Research Centres. All are convinced that the future is built on shared knowledge. There are many opportunities to learn more through the lectures, training courses, publications, conferences and events organised.
