Art and Engineering Exhibition

Discover the results of the Art and Engineering project carried out as part of the interdisciplinary project week for our first-year students on the engineering programme. The goal of the project was to design works combining art and engineering to highlight biodiversity on campus, in collaboration with the Culture and Initiatives Department of Nantes University and artists from the LE COLLECTIF DE LA MEUTE association. The results were then presented at an exhibition at Centralab – Centrale Nantes' Fablab.

Halle 6 Ouest: 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

Mini-conference: The sea in shocking figures

Test your knowledge of marine renewable energy and discover how offshore test sites are tackling physical, technological, human and meteorological constraints to support the ecological transition.
With the Open-C Foundation

Halle 6 Ouest : 9:45 p.m. - 10:05 p.m.
