  Partnerships :
  

• 
  LAPTh with colleagues from LAMA (Mathematics Laboratory) and collaboration with a biologist has worked on the 3D structures of all the protein interfaces present in oligomers. This has led to a data base “GeminiData” of interfaces and their interactions. Intellectual property rights pertaining to this data base are being handled by the “Valorisation" departments of the CNRS and Université de Savoie
  

• 
  Public Outreach : LAPTh is strongly involved in many actions towards the general public and children in schools and high schools
  

• 
  Active part in the yearly Fête de la Science
  
• 
  LAPTh has initiated Faites de la Science towards children in colleges in the Region and soon with those of the Vallée d’Aoste. The idea is that children with the help of their professor submit a scientific tool and design in a yearly competition
  
• 
  Throughout the year general public presentations through, for example, the series “Amphi pour tous” or “Café des Sciences”. In the same vein a member of LAPTh is Scientist in Residence in the Centre de Culture Scientifique, Technique et Industrielle (CCSTI)
  
• 
  Publication of a series of small books on particle physics (two a year). The series is entitled La physique expliquée à ma grand-mère.
  
• 
  A member of LAPTh is editor of FUTURA a popular science website
  
• 
  Our members have been interviewed on radios and written for popular science magazine (for example see the October issue of la Recherche)
  
• 
  A “Dictionnaire de physique” has been written by R. Taillet.

and exercises

and exercises

• 
  Members of LAPTh (either UdS or CNRS) bring a rare mix of mathematics, formal approach as well as phenomenology in both astroparticles and particle physics.
  
• 
  Apart from the initiatives taken by LAPTh at the international level, this helps attract students at the doctoral level for a PhD at LAPTh, hence our involvement in the region Rhone-Alpes and nearby Switzerland.
  
• 
  LAPTh is not only involved in the day-to-day teaching but also is setting up programs, for example the Master 2 in Lyon was originally initiated by LAPTh members (J.C. Le Guillou and P. Sorba)
  

• 
  LAPTh is a research laboratory run jointly by CNRS and “Université de Savoie” (Mixed unit of research UMR5108). The laboratory is part of the Institute of Physics of the CNRS (INP)
  
• 
  Through its director the laboratory reports its decisions to the CNRS (INP), the Delegation Regional of Alps and to the Université de Savoie
  

• 
  The management team is led by the laboratory director and the head of the administrative staff with help from the assistant director.
  
• 
  The director convenes the Laboratory Council about 4 times a year for consultation. It is also planned to have a scientific advisory board composed of international figures which meets every two years. Allocation of resources are generally agreed upon and distributed during one of the meeting of the Laboratory Council.
  
• 
  The director designates correspondents in charge of i) training ii) public outreach, iii) health and safety, iv) contacts with the University and v) contacts with CERN and LAPP.
  
• 
  The laboratory is structured around three scientific teams each with a team leader. There is also an administrative team. The computer staff are part of the LAPP-LAPTh computing centre.
