What is Pint of Science?
It is a festival for the popularisation of research that was first held in London in 2012 and has gradually spread around the world with 25 countries organising in 2022. This festival is growing in France with some 40 cities planned for 2023. Its aim is to popularise local scientific research in bars on a wide range of subjects (from neuroscience to social science, astrophysics, history, biology, psychology, etc.).
