Competition for the school world:
Pupils, from primary to preparatory classes, alone or in groups, with or without the help of their teacher, are encouraged to take one or more of these competitions. Four types of competition are offered: experimental, literary, artistic and philosophical.
Prize to win :
Trips, visits to emblematic sites or laboratories of cutting-edge research related to time, as well as subscriptions to popular science journals. The winning projects will be widely exhibited.
- Mandatory registration for these competitions is open from September 13 to January 17, 2022 (extended deadline) on https://indico.ijclab.in2p3.fr/event/7453/

This involves performing an experiment that demonstrates one of four aspects:
1A) Natural phenomena taking place over very long periods of time
1B) Natural phenomena taking place over very short periods of time
1C) Phenomena related to the irreversible character (or not) of time
1D) Realization of time measurement devices
All types of projects are eligible as long as they include a measurement, an estimate of the precision with which it is carried out and, depending on the level, a study of the main parameters governing the observed phenomenon.
Two challenges are also launched, for each level, primary, middle school, high school, preparatory classes and students:
Make the most accurate pendulum with a period of one second. The measurement of accuracy is the responsibility of the authors of the project.
Carry out the measurement of the phenomenon as briefly as possible.{/slide}
[/kc_column_text][kc_column_text _id="438158"]{slide=Literary contest}
It is about writing a short story or a comic strip about the nature of time or its passage.

[/kc_column_text][kc_column_text _id="436892"]{slide=Art contest}
It is a question of producing a work on any medium (video, painting, photography, etc.) illustrating one of the following aspects of time:
very long times
Very short times
The nature of time
The measurement of time
The work may be associated with a project carried out within the framework of the experimental competitions.{/slide}
[/kc_column_text][kc_column_text _id="2904"]{slide=Philosophical contest}
(reserved for high school students and college students)
The aim is to produce an original philosophical dissertation on the nature of time and its relationship with time as understood in science.
A project relating to the history of time and its measurement is also eligible.
Examples and suggestions suitable for each grade level for each competition are available here.
