Actions are carried out in the form of communication events, exhibitions, and ad hoc events in support of science communication projects. These actions are part of the determined cross-cutting approaches led by the Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur OCA, the French National Center for Scientific Research CNRS, the French Research Institute for Development IRD, and the Université Côte d’Azur.

Geoazur regularly participates in annual events such as the Science Festival FdS, Open Observation Dome Night NCO, and March in Museums, Brain Awareness Week, Pint of Science, Women’s Engineering Science, Spring of Researchers, etc.

Geoazur regularly delivers one-time lectures for the general public such as “Major Conferences in Antibes”, “Science for All in Biot”, etc. on Geoscience and cross disciplinary topics, and offers travelling exhibitions available as rentals.
