Science Cafés 2024 2025

On Thursday, February 16, at 8:30 p.m. at the Astrée cinema in Chambéry, the science outreach organization Science Action is hosting a screening of the film “Mars Express,” followed by a discussion with experts on the film’s subject matter.

ABOUT THE FILM

In the year 2200, Aline Ruby, a tenacious private detective, and Carlos Rivera, her android partner, are hired by a wealthy businessman to track down a famous hacker on Earth. As their investigation unfolds, they will uncover their city’s darkest secrets.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

The screening will be followed by a discussion on the topic “Between science fiction and science, where does reality lie?” featuring Richard Taillet, a professor and researcher at the USMB’s Annecy-le-Vieux Laboratory of Theoretical Physics (LAPTh) .

ABOUT CAFÉS AND CINÉ SCIENCE

Science Cafés allow the general public to discuss a wide range of topics, often related to current events, with experts and researchers in a friendly atmosphere. They are organized by the Science-Actions association, in collaboration with the University of Savoie Mont Blanc, the city of Chambéry, the Astrée cinema, and the MJC youth center in Chambéry.

These evenings are organized around the principle of a debate, which is based on questions asked by the audience to the speakers. They are neither lectures nor conferences given by a speaker. They allow everyone to form their own opinion on often complex subjects for which there is no simple or single solution. They also provide an opportunity to learn more about the research being carried out locally in the Chambéry area and neighboring regions by researchers, engineers, and doctors who volunteer their time to participate in our evenings.

Once a quarter, Cafés Science takes the form of a movie screening called Ciné Science. In this case, the film is shown at the Astrée cinema at 8:30 p.m. It is followed by a discussion with two or three experts on the film's theme.
