FEMTO-ST s'implique du 22 au 24 mai à PINT OF SCIENCE FESTIVAL

De nombreux chercheurs de l’institut se mobilisent à Besançon à l’occasion de la 10ème édition du festival international de vulgarisation scientifique sur des thématiques variées : optique, robotique, microtechniques pour les médicaments innovants. Inscrivez-vous pour découvrir leurs recherches !

Ces rendez-vous de médiation scientifique, qui se déroulent dans plus de 40 villes en France, mettent en contact, dans un cadre détendu, des chercheurs d’horizons divers avec un public curieux et fasciné par les sciences.

A Besançon, ils se tiendront du 22 au 24 mai (entre 19h30 et 21h30) dans les pubs et bars de l’Arche (place Marulaz), la Fontaine (rues des boucheries), l’Iguane café (place 8 septembre) et le Savana (quai Veïl Picard). Pour consulter la programmation et s’inscrire à ces évènements : https://pintofscience.fr/events/besancon

Les chercheurs de FEMTO-ST interviendront sur les thématiques suivantes :

- Les temps changent, les technologies s’adaptent : la robotique aux petites échelles (JY Rauch), la microrobotique/micro-manipulation (Ivan Tchouatat Kepseu) : 23 mai, la Fontaine

- Optique, image, du mythe à la réalité ( Luc Froehly, Magali Bartes) : 23 mai Iguane café 

- Comprendre les robots et les modèles algorithmiques : Optimisation de la topologie (Rono Kipkemoi Peter), Reconstruction de surface de micro-objets en 3D (Yucely Beb Caal) : 24 mai, la Fontaine

- Les microtechniques pour les médicaments innovants : comment les microtechniques peuvent améliorer les méthodes de production de biomédicaments (Alexis Lefevre, Aurélie Sabanovic, Laure Koebel, Maxime Gourgues) : 24 mai, l’Iguane café

- Les secrets de la lumière : Découvrez les propriétés surprenantes de la lumière (John Dudley) : 24 mai, Savana bar
