Le concours de vidéos Science, action! du CRSNG donne aux étudiants de niveau postsecondaire la chance de gagner des prix en argent. Seuls ou en équipe, les étudiants doivent créer une courte vidéo originale (film ou animation) qui montre, en toute simplicité, le côté fascinant de la science. Le premier prix est d'une valeur de 3 500 $! L'an dernier, des dizaines de milliers d'amateurs de science canadiens ont regardé les vidéos en ligne et partagé leurs préférées. Cette année, l'auditoire sera encore plus grand : en plus de recevoir un prix en argent, les 15 finalistes verront leur vidéo présentée dans le cadre de certaines expositions au musée et activités publiques à caractère scientifique et dans le cadre des activités de l'Odyssée des sciences et de la Semaine de la culture scientifique, deux évènements pancanadiens. Et ce n'est pas tout... Le CRSNG est heureux d'annoncer un nouveau prix spécial de 3 000 $ pour une vidéo portant sur la recherche ayant trait au Nord canadien. Ce prix s'ajoute aux 15 autres, ce qui signifie que les participants courent la chance de gagner deux prix en soumettant une seule vidéo! Toute vidéo présentant des travaux de recherche étroitement liés au Nord canadien sera automatiquement admissible. C'est le jury qui sélectionnera le gagnant. Étalez votre science! La date limite de présentation des vidéos est le 19 janvier 2018.
