CAFÉ
SCIENTIFIQUE

It's the place where science and culture intersect.

Based on the popular European salon concept, ECHO’s Café Scientifique provides a unique, relaxing setting to engage in thoughtful conversations about hot button science topics, with the participation of an acknowledged expert in each field.
 

What’s the set up?

It's a free event for adults 21+ from 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
We turn down the lights, arrange some tables and chairs, and open the bar. We chat with old friends and new faces alike, get a beer, have some hors d’oeuvres, and then find a seat.

At 7 p.m., the speaker of the evening begins a conversation on the chosen science topic. After 30 minutes or so, we take a break to get more drinks and elicit questions.

After that, it's time to challenge the speaker, have dialogue at the table, drink more, and feel like we've delved a little deeper into the science of this wonderful world.
