The Fête de la Science celebrated its 30th anniversary in Vaucluse
The 2021 edition of the Fête de la Science took place from 1 to 11 October.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Fête de la Science, the Vaucluse coordination of the Fête de la Science (Avignon University, INRAE, Muséum Requien, Le Grenier à Sel, Science en Comtat) has designed and produced an exhibition on the theme of the emotion of discovery. You can discover 30 photographs presenting actors of the FdS in our department. The exhibition is open until 20 October on the gate of the square Perdiguier in Avignon, at the town hall in Cavaillon, on the gates of the cooperative cellar in Caromb and at the Médiathèque in Sorgues.
This edition was also marked by the Science Village on Saturday 2 October, visited by more than 1,200 people, as well as by the participation of classes from the Vaucluse in the workshops on the Jean-Henri Fabre campus of Avignon University.
