Description
LAPP is a major research laboratory in France. Research carried out at LAPP aims at studying the ultimate constituents of the matter, their fundamental interactions, as well as exploring their connections with the large structures of the Universe. Participations in major international projects, collaborations and open science initiatives have been in the laboratory's genes since its creation. One of the missions defined by Europe and the French governing bodies is to enhance training through and for research as well as to support links between research and a changing society. EUTOPIA is the name of the outreach, education and societal engagement programme at LAPP. In this paper, I will discuss how we have designed the homonymous scientific exhibition, our first achievement and the main pillar of such a programme, as well as our commitment by taking advantage of the laboratory's excellences and the specific socio-economic context of the local territory.
