Science Festival 2026
The theme of the 2026 Science Festival is “Savory Science”
As part of the Science Festival, ISEN is committed to introducing middle and high school students to science and technology through an interactive and accessible experience.
The "Saveurs savantes: From Molecules to Algorithms" project aims to explore the connections between food, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and digital technology.
Students will have the opportunity to participate in science workshops, experiments, and virtual reality demonstrations.
Special attention will be given to hosting high school classes in order to raise students’ awareness of scientific careers and the technological challenges of the future. Students will have the opportunity to engage with engineering students and faculty members on concrete and innovative projects.
ISEN will also open certain research laboratories to the public, allowing them to explore the equipment, experiments, and research being conducted in the fields of digital technology and emerging technologies.
