Biodiversity Museum Seminars

As part of its mission to teach and share knowledge, the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle offers companies, and more generally public and private entities interested in the ecological transition, modules accompanied by researchers, under the name Séminaires Biodiversité Muséum.

In this way, the Muséum aims to share its scientific expertise on living organisms and the relationship between the human species and its environment, in a format that is accessible both in terms of content and organization. Designed to answer the questions of the socio-professional world on biodiversity, they are given by scientists who are experts in their field.
