Science Bar “Wine yesterday, today, and tomorrow – Geology, archaeology, climate change”

Brasserie le Dôme – 2, Avenue Georges Clémenceau, 34000 Montpellier.
Free admission (subject to availability).

The season kicks off with an evening dedicated to wine for this first Science Bar event of 2019!

This beverage, closely linked to the history of human ingenuity, has been present throughout the greatest civilizations of Antiquity. Vines and wine have always been an important part of Western societies... But from amphorae to bottles, wines have changed considerably!

Today, the impact of climate change on vineyards is no longer a matter of debate and is causing significant upheaval throughout the industry. With major socio-economic challenges at stake, the entire sector must adapt. Ultimately, what wines will we be drinking in the coming decades?

This unprecedented science-society debate brings together five researchers:

• Bruno Blondin, Director of the Institute of Advanced Studies in Vine and Wine at Montpellier SupAgro;
• Hervé Hannin, Director of Development at the Montpellier SupAgro Institute of Advanced Studies in Vine and Wine;
• Claude Raynaud, Director of Research at the Laboratory of Archaeology of Mediterranean Societies (CNRS – Paul-Valéry University Montpellier);
• Michel Séranne, researcher at the Geosciences Laboratory (CNRS – University of Montpellier);
• Jean-Marc Touzard, Director of Research at INRA, Deputy Director of the Innovation and Development in Agriculture and Food Unit (INRA – CIRAD – Montpellier SupAgro).

The Science Bar offers a 2019 vintage to be enjoyed without moderation!

Science and technology are increasingly present in our daily lives; discussing them is a democratic act.

Human encounters, a mix of disciplines, a clash of cultures, an exchange of views... The polar opposite of a formal conference, the Science Bar is an invitation to exchange ideas between scientists and specialists in a given subject and the general public.

Co-produced by the University of Montpellier and COMUE Languedoc-Roussillon Universities, in partnership with INSERM, IRD, and IRSTEA, the Montpellier Science Bar offers a unique venue for public debate that strengthens the dialogue between science and society.

The season is organized with the invaluable assistance of Brasserie le Dôme, Radio Aviva, Brain Awareness Week, and Pint of Science.
