Every year since 2016, the Institut d'études avancées de Nantes has co-organized with Lieu Unique, and since 2023 with Nantes Université, a cycle of meetings for the general public, every second Tuesday of the month.
Inviting well-known scientists, artists and media personalities, each new season explores the major issues and debates that are shaping our contemporary societies through a new theme.
All meetings are filmed and can be viewed on our You Tube channel.
Our mission is to bring the intellectual wealth of our institute to our region, and to contribute to the dialogue between science and society.
By crossing disciplinary perspectives, cultural and geographical origins and forms of expression, we offer an encounter with thinkers who are also agents of change.
