-I am writing this manuscript as a formal examination to be allowed to direct researches (``Habilitation \`a diriger des recherches''). During my career so far I have had many opportunities to work with students from all ages. Working with interns or PhD student has always been a pleasure.  As much as possible, I have tried to mention their name in this document where I cited work to which their contributed, however I could not mention all of them.

 Students always bring a fresh look on a problem, sometimes triggering questions on results that were taken for granted. Some students are quick to grab the tasks they have to do and some need more help. On several occasions I  have had the pleasure to meet again a former student a few years later at CERN or at a conference and it is always interesting to see what they have become.

 Finally as a researcher I always keep in mind that I need to inform our society about the work I do (and that is paid for by taxpayers).
-This is not a new idea, one of the founders of CNRS (Jean Perrin) already had the idea that science had to be shared with the public and he contributed to the foundation of a science museum in Paris (``Palais de la d\'ecouverte'' at the same time to achieve this goal~\cite{palais_decouverte_CNRS}.

  I regularly give presentation to schools or to the general public about physics in general and more specifically about accelerators when the opportunity arises (see~\cite{delerue:in2p3-01191530} for example). I have had the opportunity to give general public presentations about accelerators in all countries where I worked, including Japan. I also contribute regularly to science magazine for high school students (for example in~\cite{cos-182,cos-185}).
 
-Comparing my experience of publicizing Science to the public in France and in the UK is very interesting: in both country I have been invited several times to the parliament (about four times in six year in each country) to speak of science (and once to the prime minister's residence in the UK). In the UK this was always in my capacity of scientist to present what I was working on and why it needs to be funded. In France, it was always in personal capacity to talk about the societal and ethical implications of science (see for example~\cite{senat}). This difference can also be found, when engaging with the public: in the UK I had to explain what the science I am doing is worth to the society whereas in France the questions the public asks are more focussed on how it works and what we could do with the potential discovery or how dangerous science can be. This sheds an interesting light on the concerns of both societies.
