For the fourth year of the European demonstration the Night of the Researchers, 13 French partners met to propose projects having to bring the citizen and the researcher to be met.
The diversity of the operators will offer to the visitors a diversity of proposal, participant in a discovery of this individual who is the researcher. We will find ourselves in the cities like Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Besancon, Dijon, Lille, Rennes, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Angers, Montpellier, Nimes, Brest, Nice and Paris and the area Ile de France.
For this edition 2008, each partner will offer a festive demonstration. The importance will be put on the meeting of the public with the researchers present. It will be produced by a setting in scene particular, an accompaniment of the visitor during the evening, the use of particular places and specific in order to produce a real event participative and opened with the greatest number.
During these various evenings, the goal is to lead the researcher to be an actor of the demonstration. To present themselves as being a citizen, and to identify the magic which its work can cause. It is in the sense that the aesthetic approach of the evenings will be an essential point, in order to immerse the visitor in an environment enabling him to plunge itself in an unknown universe in its eyes.
