For the second consecutive year, the DIM BioConvS renews its partnership with Université Paris Cité to support the Pint of Science festival. In 2025, this collaboration focuses on sponsoring the entire series of evenings hosted at the bar La Pomme d’Ève in Paris.
Pint of Science is an international festival that brings scientific research into public spaces, creating opportunities for dialogue between researchers and citizens in a relaxed and informal setting. Through talks, live demonstrations, and interactive activities, participants can discover current research topics while engaging directly with scientists.
By supporting this initiative, DIM BioConvS continues its effort to open up conversations around innovative biotherapies and synthetic biology. The evenings at La Pomme d’Ève will explore various aspects of these fields, offering accessible insights into current challenges and scientific advances. This partnership reflects the consortium’s broader commitment to scientific outreach and to strengthening the dialogue between research and society.
