About us

Our team is made of people who love sciences of all kinds, and we want to share our passion and knowledge with the public.

Our actions

Discussing science

We organize meetings, debates and two ways discussions between researchers and public so they can share their views about science news

Explaining science

We design, set up and host scientific shows and workshops to introduce children and students to science by the practice and the experiment

Designing science

We also conceive our own thematic events and multimedia tools for people of all ages

What do we do ?

Bar des Sciences

To speak about sciences is a good thing, but to be able to speak directly with the scientists about their researches is way better. The « bar des sciences » is an event which proposes to the public to meet researchers outside the formal frame of conferences.

 

Plushology : the science of plush toys !

Plushology (the « science » which study cuddly toys) is a travelling exhibition which aims to explain to the young people the notion of classification. But here, the subject are not living beings but cuddly toys ! However the techniques and principles of science involved look alike. You can also check out our website dedicated to plushology: https://peluche.umontpellier.fr/
