These last ten years, the Culture Diff' website has been used to promote my research work in the field of Egyptian Archaeoastronomy among researchers in the humanities (archaeologists, Egyptologists, philologists) and sciences (astronomers), as well as among the general public. Specifically, the dissemination of the results of my research work on the Culture Diff' website (section AstroEgypto) has led to the establishment of the collaborations necessary to deepen this research work, to prepare and defend a doctoral thesis on this topic (see below), to establish partnerships with various institutions, associations and local authorities, with the press as well. During these ten years, 10 Culture Diff' dossiers related to ancient Egyptian astronomy were written, 3 archaeoastronomy softwares were designed and commercialized, 10 articles were published in scientific journals, 25 lectures including 2 shows-lectures were given, 2 planetarium shows were created, 11 interviews were conducted by journalists. All of these accomplishments is available on the Culture Diff' website under the headings Dossiers, Softwares, Publications, Conferences, Shows and Media-TIC.

In the continuity of the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Toulouse-Tarbes, the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie organizes every spring the Secondary Teacher's Day. The principle is as follows: twenty teachers of the Academy of Toulouse attend, for one day, the presentations of their work (in the form of lectures, experiments) by the IRAP researchers and engineers, then discuss with them about the careers and disciplines of astronomy. The program for the day set for April 3, 2012 included oral presentations relating to the Milky Way, the seismological network of the Pyrenees, the planets of the Solar System, the PILOT mission, ...

After designing the new Website of the Graduate School « Sciences de l'Univers, de l'Environnement et de l'Espace », the Culture Diff' company carries out its management : regular updating of its content, development of new web tools, institutional monitoring, etc ...

During their studies, college students must perform a "work experience" for a few days. Depending upon the institutions to which they belong, these courses take place in the 4th or the 3rd grade. Following the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Toulouse-Tarbes (LATT), the Centre Study of Space Radiation (CESR) and the Laboratory of Terrestrial and Planetary Dynamics (DTP), the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie (IRAP) engaged in welcoming these young boys and girls. The objective is to enable them to discover the research environment and actors in the field of the Sciences of the Universe. To this end, each student meets successively the researchers, engineers, PhD students, postdocs, technicians, computer specialists, managers, librarians of the laboratories which make up the Observatoire Midi-Pyrenees : Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie (IRAP), Laboratoire d'Aérologie (LA), Laboratory of Geophysics and Oceanography (LEGOS), Centre d'Etudes Spatiales of the Biosphere (CESBIO), Laboratory of Functional Ecology (Ecolab), Laboratory of Geological and Transfer Mechanisms (LMTG) and Common Services (UMS). Since the Culture Diff' company is closely linked with the research laboratories of the Observatoire Midi-Pyrenees and since spreading the scientific knowledge to the general public is one of its missions, the Culture Diff' company was asked to welcome the young people willing to do their work experience at the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie (IRAP).

This Labex or Laboratory of Excellence named OCEVU (Origin, Components and EVolution of the Universe), if chosen by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, will aim to bring together researchers from five major laboratories in southern France: the IRAP (Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie, Toulouse), the LUPM (Laboratoire Univers et Particules of Montpellier), the LAM (Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille), the CPT (Centre de Physique Théorique, Marseille) and the CPPM (Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille). Considering their respective expertise and experiences, the Communication correspondents of the five laboratories in question were charged, in the fall of 2011, to propose different kinds of diffusion (towards young people, amateurs and enthusiasts, the general public) and promotion (towards the supervisory authorities, institutions, corporations) of the results of basic research in the fields of cosmology, particle physics and theoretical physics. The Culture Diff' company was designated as the Communication correspondent of the IRAP researchers taking part in the Labex OCEVU. Paris, the 14th February 2012 : the OCEVU project has been chosen by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research as a LabEx. As such, it will have a budget of 10 million euros over the period 2012 to 2020. Further details ...

The Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie (IRAP) was established on the 1st January 2011. It is a new joint research unit of the University Paul Sabatier in Toulouse and the CNRS, resulting from the consolidation of staff (administrative, technical, engineering, (teachers)-researchers) coming from three laboratories of the Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées : the Centre d'Etude Spatiale des Rayonnements (CESR), the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Toulouse-Tarbes (LATT) and the laboratory of Dynamique Terrestre et Planétaire (DTP). The creation of this new Institute is accompanied by the making up of the associated Website, with details related to its internal organization, research, development and education. Because of its numerous relationships with the laboratories that unites the Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées, the Culture Diff' company was chosen to accompany the implementation of the Web site of the IRAP.

The COROT mission is a collaboration between the CNES (the supervisor), several French laboratories like the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Toulouse-Tarbes (LATT), the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille (LAM) and the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS), various European countries and Brazil. This mission has two main scientific objectives: better understanding the physical phenomena which take place in stellar environments on the one hand, discovering new extrasolar planets on the other hand. Both objectives require the adoption of distinct techniques : stellar seismology (detection and study of the vibration of stars) and transit method (observation of periodic micro-eclipses which the planets cause as they pass in front of their parent star). Prior to the mission, and in order to prepare the observation program of the COROT satellite, an Oracle database made up with several tables was set up. Some of these tables are related to seismology, others to the search for extrasolar planets, and others contain the USNO star catalog. This pre-observational database is hosted at the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Toulouse-Tarbes, on a dedicated server named COROTSERVER, accessible from the outside at: http://corotserver.ast.obs-mip.fr. My job was to replace the existing servers (a development server and a production server) by two new generation servers, to create a new Oracle database with updated tables and to improve the web interface between the user and the newly created Oracle database. To accomplish these tasks, I worked, part-time as a CNRS Research Engineer specialized in the Development and the Deployment of Applications at the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Toulouse-Tarbes ...

Years of work, making contacts, exchanges are sometimes necessary for the implementation of projects. Such was the case for my research work on the theme of Egyptian Archaeoastronomy, which I begun alone in 1996 (see below), continued within the context of a doctoral thesis from 2002, then defended at the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique Toulouse-Tarbes in 2008, next was rewarded with an Award of the Academy of Sciences, Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres de Toulouse. To date, this project is, according to me, the most successful achievement of the Culture Diff' company. The preparation and the defense of my doctoral thesis formed the earliest goals of the Culture Diff' company, they have conditioned its creation in July 2000. Indeed, the Culture Diff' Website has been used to promote my research work in the field of Egyptian Archaeoastronomy among researchers in the humanities (archaeologists, Egyptologists, philologists) and sciences (astronomers), as well as among the general public (see above).

The show entitled "The Sky of Pharaoh" is a collaboration with the Cité de l'Espace, Toulouse, France. It introduces the public to the ancient Egyptian knowledge of astronomy in relationship with various myths, on an image synthesis background: the pyramids on the Giza plateau, the temple of Hathor at Dendera, the Jubilee temple of Ramses II at Western Thebes, the temple of Abu Simbel, etc.. It is projected on the screens of the Cité de l'Espace since January 2007 and available in sign language since April 2008. Further details ...

In order to accompany the birth of the only French magazine dedicated to Egyptology, the Culture Diff' company has sold, on a dedicated Web interface, the first three issues of the journal « Toutankhamon Magazine » in paper and pdf forms. In total, 47 issues of Toutankhamon Magazine have been published. Recently, the magazine was re-named Pharaon.

In order to spread the very first results of my research work in the field of Egyptian Archaeoastronomy and to establish contacts with various researchers in the humanities and exact sciences who might be interested in this research topic, I wrote from 1996 to 1997 a book related to the astronomical orientation of the pyramids of Egypt. This book was published in 1998 under the title "The astronomical significance of the pyramids of Egypt. The celestial order recreated" by the Editions La Maison de Vie - ISBN: 2909816 29 X. By 1998, the orientation hypothesis detailed in this book has been published on the Web in English and French languages. Thanks to modern tools (AstroSoftwares) I developed during my doctoral thesis, this hypothesis has been reformulated and then detailed within the Culture Diff' dossier entitled "The astronomical orientation of the Pyramids of Egypt."
