Science popularization
Our team members participate in numerous science popularization events where they interact with the general public of all ages.
This science theatre show is organized by Loria and Inria members. Since 2021, it is performed every year in numerous schools and festivals by the “Crache-Texte” company and with the participation of our researchers. [In the near future…] The “The Stork” agency is a delivery company with a fleet of 60 delivery drones… One of them becomes autonomous and starts delivering according to its own criteria. Fiction or possible scenario? Robotics, data protection, ethics… Take part in the trial of the robot and debate with experts on the challenges of artificial intelligence.
An outdoor maths and computing course for secondary school girls.
Who is it for?
25 secondary school girls who love maths and computing or are curious to discover them.
What is it for?
To discover research in mathematics and computer science among secondary school girls in a relaxed atmosphere.
Where and when?
In a holiday village in the mountains (Ramonchamp, Vosges) during the autumn holidays.
With whom?
With researchers in computer science and mathematics from the Grand-Est region.
An annual event for secondary school teachers specialized in Computer Science, Digital Science and Technology. Loria researchers Isabelle Debled-Rennesson and Yannick Parmentier coordinate the event. The day consists on workshops and conferences, and it involves many members of the laboratory.
As part of the national science festival, the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Lorraine organizes its annual Science Village for schoolchildren and the general public. As a partner in the event, Loria offers workshops on unplugged computing, robot programming, computer security, and 3D modeling, as well as scientific lectures and shows.
CNRS opens the doors of its laboratories, observatories, scientific platforms, and research sites in mainland France. Since the first time this event took place in 2020, Loria participates every year by welcoming groups of visitors in an intimate, privileged setting.
Through the (re)discovery of emblematic science-fiction films from the 50s to today, this screening-debate offers a cinematographic approach to the link between Man and (intelligent) machines, and robots in particular. With Nicolas Dupuy, engineer at the University of Lorraine and Alain Dutech, researcher at Loria.
180 seconds to explain your thesis! Ma Thèse en 180 secondes is an international competition for French-speaking doctoral students which challenges young researchers to present their theses to the general public in three minutes.
“We Are the Robots” is a trans-disciplinary space between artistic composition and robotic programming, where each speciality of the Artem alliance schools has its own role and importance. Led by Patrick Hénaff, this workshop gives rise each year to a play directed by Raphaël Gouisset (company Les Particules), with performances at the Théâtre de la Manufacture in Nancy and at the Avignon Festival.
Drone control is a play written by Charlotte Lagrange based on her meeting with Antoine Deleforge, Inria research fellow at Loria and expert in sound processing and recognition. It is part of the collection “Binôme, le poète et le savant”, created by the “Le Sens des Mots” company.
