Départagez de jeunes chercheurs dans "la grande Battle de FEMTO-ST"

A l’occasion du dixième anniversaire de l’Institut FEMTO-ST, lelaboratoire et l’Université de Franche-Comté organisent un concours étonnant et réjouissant, stimulant et accessible à tous... une battle de jeunes chercheurs,

un combat scientifique et technique avec comme armes des «super pouvoirs» sortis du laboratoire.

Ils seront huit au départ. À la fin... il n’en restera plus qu’un : celui qui aura réussi à convaincre le public, celui qui aura su être le plus accrocheur et le plus drôle pour expliquer clairement et avec passion sa thématique de

recherche. Le concours se déroulera en deux temps : une présélection sur internet à partir du 20 septembre jusqu'au 11 octobre, et la finale qui aura lieu le dimanche 12 octobre pendant la Fête de la science.

Ils travaillent sur les robots de demain, des moteurs moléculaires, des calculateurs optiques ou des piles à hydrogène.

Ils se prénomment Antonio,Yannick, Alexandre, Mat, Mattéo, André, Hamza ou Mathieu.

Retrouvez-les sur le site de Besançon.TV pour visionner leur portrait et vidéo et soutenir votre favori : votez ici en cliquant sur le tag Facebook "j'aime" sur la page dédiée du site.

Puis rendez-vous, le dimanche 12 octobre à 15h, à la Fête de la science,Campus de la Bouloie à Besançon pour assister à leur show et élire le grand vainqueur de la grande Battle.
