The Conferences
Discover those who have contributed, through their courage and determination, to the most fabulous advances in science. To grasp a scientific theory in all its grandeur and appreciate its depth, it is essential to establish its discovery in the historical context of the era in which it was born.
Choose from our six conferences on fascinating topics.
Our conferences are approximately one hour long. Their purpose is to introduce the audience to a particular area of science. The six conferences currently offered are conceived to answer your expectations and questions on the scientific topics that are of current interest.
Explore the world of science through our conferences
About
Espace-temps aims to make science accessible to a non-specialized audience without giving up the rigour of scientific reasoning.
Our goal is to awaken the curiosity of young people and stimulate their interest in learning. We want to inspire them to explore the world to appreciate its beauty and complexity. Science, then, will be able to reveal some of its mysteries to them.
With these conferences, we hope to motivate young people to become part of a study project that will prolong this first encounter with the world of science.
