In Meudon, the CNRS Bellevue campus comes alive for the Fête de la Science 2025, transforming its laboratories, mediation areas and corridors into stages of discovery. It's an opportunity for all visitors - whether curious amateurs or enthusiasts - to step through the doors of the research institution to exchange ideas, learn and marvel at the work of scientists.
Organized by the Île-de-France Meudon delegation of the CNRS, this event is fully in keeping with the spirit of the Fête de la Science: to make research accessible to all, by opening up the backstage of laboratories and highlighting the contemporary challenges of science. This year's theme is "Intelligence(s)", which will be explored in its many forms - artificial intelligence, collective intelligence, natural intelligence - through bold and varied formats.
At the CNRS in Meudon, the events on offer are designed to bring visitors closer to the scientific process. It's a rare opportunity to see, touch and question: to watch experiments, to question researchers, to enter the world of research outside the traditional laboratory.
But before going into the details of the program, let's briefly recall what the CNRS site in Meudon represents. Located in a historic setting, it is linked to the Pavillon Bellevue, a building steeped in history, a former hotel that has been converted over the years and now forms part of the CNRS premises. The site is home to numerous research units and benefits from a strong tradition of local scientific mediation: it's here that the encounter between knowledge and the public can be fully expressed.
In this setting blending heritage and scientific avant-garde, the Fête de la Science at CNRS Meudon promises moments of curiosity, dialogue and inspiration. The full program, including locations, times and speakers, will be available soon - but get ready to embark on an exciting exploration of the theme of intelligence!
