From 12th June to 4th July, EPFL Pavilions, Pavilion A will host a dozen experiments set up by the science center Technorama in order to explore natural phenomena and technology.

Admission will be free of charge, with mandatory reservation via the EPFL Pavilions website. Due to the current health restrictions, the number of visitors will be limited to 20 people per hour.
