Cultural and scientific events involving the GIN

GIN’s employees regularly contribute to placing science at the core of culture. To open dialog about science with other people, to question science, to give citizens the keys to understand the world in which they live, to provide knowledge, skills and solutions to health problems and to explain the scientific approach are all challenges, which we try to meet through our actions.

We are involved in the local organization of annual events, at both national and international levels, in collaboration with other laboratories in Grenoble. From theaters or cinemas to showrooms and the hall of our institute, these meetings offer experiments, activities and interactions organized and led by GIN’s scientists for everyone to see.

Find all details and feedback for each event in the following section and the schedule of the upcoming editions on our "Science for all" page or on the blog atoutcerveau (in French).
