First French Chemists’ Tournament

Go live on Friday, March 26, 2021 at 9:45 a.m. for the 1st session of the French Chemists' Tournament (TFChim). It's an opportunity to learn more about chemistry, the type of chemistry that can help protect our planet, and repair human degradation. It's a chance to discover students and teacher-researchers who are passionate about chemistry and its practical applications. It is a moment to discover that training and research go hand in hand at ENS de Lyon: participation in the French Chemists' Tournament (TFChim) is counted within the framework of the UE L3 and Master 1 Chemistry because it teaches students to work as a team, analyze a problem and propose a model, to question experimentally a theory, meet researchers, present results and react in real-time to new ideas. This is an opportunity to take on a new challenge: that of a competition where 5 schools, 5 enthusiastic and motivated teams will compete in 6 scientific public debates. During these "Fights", true marathons of scientific debates, the teams take on different roles, for which students will, in turn, have to present results, criticize and debate the work of another team, or moderate a scientific debate.
