2024

This week, the Cité des Télécoms inaugurated our travelling exhibition Special Effects: steal the scene! produced by the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie in co-production with the Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée (CNC). The exhibition will run there until the end of 2024.   

Representing Universcience at the event were Sophie Biecheler-Fiocconi, Delegate to the Institutional, Territorial and International Delegation, and Maria Evora, Project Manager.   

They were joined by the Mayor of Pleumeur-Bodou, Pierre Terrien, the Director of the Cité des Télécoms, Aude Bosquet Barth, and the President of the Orange Foundation, Élisabeth Tchoungui, as well as Emmanuel Ethis, Recteur de la Région Académique Bretagne and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, French director and screenwriter, patron of the exhibition.   

Together, they led a round-table discussion on special effects in the film industry, highlighting the potential pitfalls of digital technology. 

The exhibition takes visitors behind the scenes of special effects, covering every stage in the creation of a film, from pre-production, through the set, to post-production.   

Illustrated by a variety of references, the exhibition reveals the technical culture and innovations at work in major films, and allows visitors to experience or relive the history and evolution of special effects. It also reveals how art and technology feed off each other to produce the finest creations.  

Bravo to the Cité des Télécoms and Universcience teams for their collaboration on this wonderful project!

Inauguration of the Cancers exhibition in Saint Etienne

Our traveling exhibition Cancers was inaugurated on Friday February 9 at the Cité du design in Saint-Étienne Métropole. The city is hosting the exhibition as part of its cancer plan, launched in 2022. A first for a French city!

During the evening, Maud Gouy, co-curator of the exhibition, answered questions from journalists and showed the exhibition to those present, and artist Caroline Le Flour, actress, shared an extract from her show, "La chauve sourit", which looks back, with authenticity and casualness, on her experience facing the disease.

Today, cancer is unfortunately still all too often taboo. The aim of the exhibition is to give visitors a better understanding of the disease and its treatment, and to combat preconceived ideas about cancer, while raising awareness of everyday risk behaviours, prevention and screening.

Think culture 2023

To mark the start of the 2023 academic year, the 8th Think Culture event was held on Tuesday 5th September, at the Centre Pompidou, organized by News Tank Culture and partnered by Universcience.

For this year's event, News Tank tackled a vast subject that is more topical than ever: "Culture and digital: the permanent revolution? A day dedicated to innovation in the cultural sector."

During the session "Museums and monumental heritage, their audiences, their own resources: how far can digital innovation go?", alongside Olivia Voisin, Musées de la ville d'Orléans Métropole ; Annick Lemoine, le Petit Palais ; and Abla Bernmiloud-Faucher, Centre des monuments nationaux, our President Bruno Maquart, presented the digital strategy of the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie and the Palais de la découverte. He mentioned a number of projects that have been put in place, from two angles: free offers, such as Blob, and paying offers. Today, each of our physical offerings is accompanied by a paying online digital offer, as with our Cancers and Crowdology exhibitions.

Bruno Maquart stressed the importance of experimentation when it comes to digital innovations: "We need to invent new languages and adapt. We need to learn. If it doesn't work, we do something else. The important thing is to experiment."

Following on from these various projects, our first lessons are: "There is no head-on competition between the digital distance offer and the physical offer. We're just coming off a record-breaking summer in terms of visitor numbers. Digital also works. We can develop two fronts at once: the physical visit and the digital."

In another session, Anne-Laure Mayer, Project Manager at Universcience, presented the "Fab Lab at school: how to stimulate the development of scientific, technical and industrial culture among young people through 'do-it-yourself'?"

The aim of the project is to "stimulate interest in science and the scientific approach." The benefits for the students are manifold, with an increase in their desire to learn, to share, and in their self-confidence; and for the teachers, who develop, among other things, collaborative work.

In conclusion, it was a day rich in constructive exchanges, to move forward together towards greater innovation in the cultural sector.

PRESSE - Cancers : articles Blooloop & OCIM

Today cancer is still too often a taboo subject.

The Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie is presenting Cancers, a major temporary exhibition covering all the scientific, psychological and social dimensions of this complex disease.The Cancers exhibition has chosen to put the patient at the core of its narrative, as well as the nursing staff and carers, offering numerous testimonies on life during and after.

For more information, see the exhibition, currently on show at the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie until 6 August 2023, highlighted in two feature articles:

Extract: "Universcience, an organisation that works to make science accessible to all, has debuted an exhibition designed to break down the walls of taboo and stigma surrounding different cancers, in Paris. The exhibition goes beyond simply providing information by creating a space for visitors to explore the disease from all angles – including the scientific, medical, intimate, and societal aspects. Through exhibits, personal stories, and cutting-edge research, visitors will gain a deeper understanding of the impact of cancer on individuals and society as a whole."

  • the second article (in French) written by the OCIM, a national centre for ideation, shared knowledge and reference for professionals and researchers in museums, heritage and scientific and technical cultures: « REGARDER LE CANCER EN FACE DANS UN MUSÉE DE SCIENCES

Extract: "Avec l’exposition Cancers (du 6 septembre 2022 au 8 août 2023), la Cité des sciences et de l’industrie, en partenariat avec l’INCa et en collaboration avec l’Inserm, s’est attelée à une réalisation audacieuse et courageuse, avec l’ambition de lever les tabous autour de ce sujet difficile. Les commissaires de l’exposition, Laurence Caunézil et Maud Gouy livrent ici les principes qui ont présidé à leurs choix scénographiques."

One of the particularities of the exhibition, mentioned in these two articles, is its scenography. As cancer has many facets, the exhibition could not be linear. It takes the form of a vast territory to be explored designed around five audiovisual installations: three are devoted to medicine and research; two to the shock caused by the announcement of a cancer.

The exhibition will be available for touring at the end of 2023.

SITEM 2023

Back to SITEM 2023, a Beaux-Arts & cie event: with, this year, many conferences around sustainable development and innovation, and as every year, various exhibitors, key actors and innovators of the cultural sector.

The conference "Giving oneself the means of eco-responsibility" in which Universcience participated gave rise to an interesting discussion and important exchanges around the eco-responsibility of museums and cultural institutions, with Camille Pène, Co-founder, les Augures, as moderator.  

Michèle Antoine, Director of Exhibitions at Universcience, highlighted the many eco-responsible and essential projects for the ecological transition implemented by Universcience. The first project mentioned, which has been underway for a long time in the establishment, is that of internal awareness and training.

Projects that are more central to the institution's mission were then presented during the conference, such as: Les Etincelles du Palais de la découverte, an ephemeral construction made with 100% recycled materials; the Renaissances exhibition, a zero waste exhibition; the Evolutions industrielles exhibition, a "deposit" exhibition for future exhibitions, etc. One of the keys to these projects is the desire to work in a circular economy and to give priority to reuse, and to integrate these ideas from the design stage.

It's all About Love in Laval

What more universal subject of attention than love? ❤️ Enigmatic, almighty engine of so many stories, love seems particularly difficult to define.

The Zoom of Laval, Science center, directed by Jeanne Marie Mas, is wearing the colors of love until August 6, 2023 by hosting the eponymous exhibition.

The exhibition All about love was inaugurated in Laval on March 10, 2023, in the presence of the President of Universcience Bruno Maquart, accompanied by Sophie Biecheler, Director of International Relations, Cultural and Scientific Sector, and Mathilde Curdel, Project Manager, with Florian Bercault, Mayor of Laval and President of Laval Agglomeration, Marie-Laure Le Mée Clavreul, Deputy for Education, Gender Equality and the Fight against Discrimination, and Samia Soultani-Vigneron, Vice President of the Regional Council.

During his speech, Mr. Maquart insisted on the singularity of this exhibition for Universcience: "All about love has a special meaning for my teams. As the last exhibition of the Palais de la découverte before its closure for several years of works, in autumn 2020, it has left its mark on the minds and hearts of our visitors and attracted many of what we call "young adults". It is therefore with undisguised pleasure that I find her today within these walls, in this very beautiful place of encounter between the public and science that is the Zoom of Laval."

This project is the result of the excellent work of the Zoom and Universcience teams and their beautiful collaboration.

All about love questions this mysterious feeling by relying on scientific and artistic works. There is no global scientific theory on love. However, affection, attachment, sexuality and empathy are conveyed by the same molecules, trigger the secretion of the same hormones and use the same neuronal circuits.

Fire at Quai des Savoirs, Toulouse

Our travelling exhibition Fire opened at the Quai des Savoirs in Toulouse on February 9. It will remain there until November 5, 2023.

Francis Grass, Deputy Mayor in charge of coordinating cultural and memorial policies, Councillor of Toulouse Métropole; Laurent Chicoineau, Director of the Quai des Savoirs; and Sébastien Vergé, Director of the SDIS31, co-Chairman of the 129th firefighters' congress, spoke at the opening ceremony, presenting the exhibition.

Our Chairman, Bruno Maquart, also gave a poignant speech, highlighting the long and fruitful collaboration between our two institutions.

In his speech, Sébastien Vergé emphasized, among other things, that there had never been an exhibition about fire. The exhibition is therefore a unique project that could inspire vocations and raise awareness of the firefighting profession.

Yet fire has left its mark on the history of mankind, and is sadly often a topical issue. The exhibition highlights our relationship with fire, which has evolved over time and still today oscillates between fear and fascination. Fire evokes vitality, conviviality, progress and technology, but also danger and destruction.

Universcience is proud of all its teams who have worked on this project, and would like to thank the Quai des Savoirs teams who, in addition to this great joint project, have prepared a varied program of events around this theme.

Museum Connections 2023

Museum Connections is an international trade fair, resolutely focusing on the business and sustainable challenges of museums, cultural and touristic venues, which highlights trends and innovations to imagine new visitors' experiences.
