Frequent contribution to the wikipedia encyclopedia. My main contribution has been in terms of illustration with more than 6000 uploaded photos. Most of them deal with french local architectural heritage, but more than 100 illustrations are dealing with physics and optical technologies.
since 2010 : involvement in the promotion of the scientific heritage of the physics department.

2015 : Coordinator of the Year of Light for the ICB lab in the context of the Labex Action (2x15€ budget)
