The Fête de la science is back!
The 30th Fête de la science will be held from 1 to 11 October 2021. To mark the occasion, the Annecy Laboratory of Particle Physics (LAPP) and the Annecy-le-Vieux Laboratory of Theoretical Physics (LAPTh) will be offering a wide range of activities throughout the month of October. On the programme: visits, lectures, exhibitions, readings, scientific workshops, etc.
A new Fête de la Science
This year, the Fête de la Science is finally back in person! The health context is forcing us to adapt, and the usual format is changing to allow everyone to find out more about our research. The EUTOPIA platform has therefore organised a brand new Fête de la Science, combining presentations in the Savoie region and an open weekend at the LAPP and LAPTh. This year, registration is compulsory for the open weekend in advance, to ensure safe access to the site.
