Come in ! Observe, touch, experiment!
The University of Geneva wishes to awaken and cultivate a fascination for science among the population, and more particularly among young people, in order to share scientific knowledge and to arouse vocations.
The Scientific Mediation Center of the Faculty of Sciences of the UNIGE, the Scienscope, includes the Physiscope, the Chimiscope, the Bioscope, the Mathscope, the Infoscope and the Terrascope, where researchers lead interactive workshops and conduct original experiments. They offer discovery modules whose themes can be linked to primary and secondary school programs.
The scenography of François Confino aims to present all the activities in progress in the scopes and to make available in an attractive and spectacular way the tools of diffusion left in the hands of the scientists.
