Double.Science: the festival of scientific popularization

24 May 2023

Observatoire de Paris - PSL is a partner of Double.Science, the festival of popular science. This unique event organized by the Café des Sciences, the Exploratoire and the French Physical Society will take place at the Ground Control, in Paris, from Friday 26 to Sunday 28 May 2023. Free entrance.

Families, students, science enthusiasts, citizens, scientists and professionals of scientific mediation are invited to discover, share, celebrate and have fun with science.

The 2023 edition is based on the theme "150 years of Physics", on the occasion of the 150 years of the French Physical Society..., while leaving room for all other scientific disciplines!

Do you have a job in research or in scientific communication? The day of May 26 is indeed intended for professionals, with workshops designed in this sense. It is dedicated to the questions surrounding the place of science sharing in scientific research, the stakes and the problems associated with mediation work.

All information and the program are on the festival website.
