Abstract :
This paper describes two initiatives for dissemination of science and technology using multimedia tools. One consists in a set of 250 one-minute programs about engineering topics which were broadcast by TV, radio and the multimedia online platform of a daily journal. The other is a collection of videos produced by a research unit in two alternative formats aimed at specialist and general viewers. These initiatives may be instrumental for improving the general perception of the role of engineering and for attracting new vocations. The multimedia contents developed are also valuable teaching tools.
