The Department is actively involved in scientific communication to a non-science audience with public engagement initiatives. The aim is spreading the scientific knowledge and culture inside society, in particular on themes dealing with pharmacy and biotechnology. In addition, professors and researchers show and explain, using a language suitable for a non-science audience, their research activity and its impact on the society.
