A wonderful opportunity to dive into the fascinating world of the St. Lawrence, observe seabirds, learn about fish, whales and molluscs, as well as experience the regional finals of the Défi apprenti génie and the primary level of Expo-science Hydro-Québec! It will be the perfect opportunity to participate in stimulating challenges and encourage the next generation of scientists. 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;”> The scientific gathering organized by Technoscience Est-du-Québec is possible thanks to our delegated partner, the deputy Maxime Blanchette-Joncas.
This year: The environment is in my nature!
The theme put forward this year revolves around the environment. We are addressing our role as individuals in our environment and our relationship with nature. More than ever, humans are aware of their impact and of their alternatives for changing the scenario that is currently unfolding. Of course, science plays a major role in understanding the situation and implementing solutions. 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;”>The 24 heures de science is an open door to exploring our world, discovering our universe, getting to the heart of scientific projects and even talking about innovation. Each meeting is an opportunity for discovery with specialists or facilitators who are passionate about ecology, chemistry, geology, human sciences, mathematics or health.
The festival, organized by Science for All and recognized by UNESCO, is also part of theScience Odyssey, a Canada-wide event presented by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
