For this 34th edition of the Science Festival, which will take place from October 3 to 13, the Montpellier Science Village will be open to the general public on October 4 and 5 and to schoolchildren on October 6. It offers a wide range of activities for young and old alike, designed to highlight science through workshops, demonstrations, experiments, games, conferences, shows, and exhibitions. This edition is marked by a regional opening on October 3 at the Léonard de Vinci vocational high school in Montpellier.

Every day, the news highlights both the achievements and the dangers of the spectacular development of artificial intelligence (AI). The 2025 edition of the Fête de la Science invites the public to explore all forms of intelligence and to rethink what it means to be intelligent, beyond human boundaries.

Leonardology(ies)

Leonardo da Vinci High School

On October 3, 2025, the Léonard de Vinci vocational high school in Montpellier will host the regional opening of the Fête de la Science (Science Festival) in Occitanie, opening its doors to a unique event designed for middle and high school students through the flagship operation "Léonardologie(s)" (Leonardology), which focuses on meeting, sharing, and exploring.

Interactive workshops, exhibitions, discussions with scientists and artists, not to mention the presentation of a work in progress: the school's students and teaching staff are fully committed to offering a rich and inspiring program that combines science and the arts.

But the event doesn't stop at the school gates. The University of Montpellier is organizing an artistic and scientific stroll through the Mosson neighborhood for students from Léonard de Vinci High School and Les Escholiers de la Mosson Middle School. Residents, students, and passersby are welcome to join in, with the aim of bringing science to life for local residents. A work in motion, a neighborhood awakening, and knowledge in circulation: a powerful moment of citizenship and shared creation.
