For more than a decade, climate change has occupied a major place in scientific research and in political and public debate.

Like all sectors of society, scientific research is being asked how it can make the transition to a lower carbon footprint. More and more labs are seeking to account for and reduce their environmental impact, while preserving the quality of their research projects.

In the context of a global climate emergency, the academic world has a role to play in producing knowledge, teaching and raising general awareness of the issues at stake.

This Science Bar is organized in partnership with the Coordination sciences et société Occitanie Est and run by the University of Perpignan.

A number of multidisciplinary experts will be on hand to answer questions from the audience:

  • Marie-Agnès COURTY, Geologist, Director of Research at CNRS, PROMES laboratory;
  • Jean-Marc MOULIN, University Professor of Law, UPVD, CDED laboratory;
  • Régis OLIVES, University Professor of Engineering Sciences, UPVD, PROMES laboratory;
  • Marion PODESTA, Senior Lecturer in Economics, UPVD, ART-DEV laboratory.
