- Discover DNA, sleep and ... illusions. As for animal biology, we'll be observing live animals, of course.
- Geosciences :
- Journey back in time and into the bowels of the Earth...but also a little trip to Mars for a geological stroll.
- Mathematics :
- Discover the extraordinary richness of mathematics during a talk, or become a budding mathematician by exploring a problem in a workshop...
- Physics :
- Magnetism, superconduction, experiments at -196°C ... and of course the inevitable "electrostatics" and sparks!
- Chemistry :
- From the phenomena of everyday life to the activities of research laboratories, chemistry is astonishing and spectacular!
- Computer and digital sciences :
- Those 0's and 1's, those algorithms, those billions of transistors in your smarphones, tablets, robots... You think you don't understand them, we'll show you the opposite...
- 1 researcher, 1 manipulator
- A little piece of the laboratory, a place where you can meet "science in the making"...
