MONTRÉAL, Oct. 21, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - On November 12, Espace pour la vie presents its second edition of Researchers' Night. A unique event that celebrates research and makes it accessible to everyone, whether you are a novice, a research lover or simply curious.

More than fifty scientists from Espace pour la vie institutions, as well as other organizations, will take part in this extraordinary event. In a relaxed atmosphere, these researchers from fields as varied as ecology, urban agriculture, cancer research or the study of galaxies will unveil the highlights and uncertainties of their daily lives as scientists.

Research, a focal point of Espace pour la vie museums
From their collections, laboratories, equipment and specialized staff, museums are among the favored places for research and training. Researchers' Night is one of the key projects that helps build bridges between scientists and the public.

From talk shows to discover their adventures and misadventures in the field, to more intimate encounters about their daily work, the opportunities for meetings and discoveries will multiply in a festive atmosphere.

This year, the event is expanding its reach elsewhere in Québec! Researchers' Night will be in full swing simultaneously at the Biodôme de Montréal and at the Sherbrooke Museum of Nature and Science.

On the agenda:
Musical atmosphere and drinks for sale on site.

In unknown territory
