Celebrate Science at the ENS Paris-Saclay

Le Village des Sciences

The Village des Sciences will welcome the general public on October 8 and 9 in the Atrium Germaine Tillion de l'ENS Paris-Saclay. You will be able to discover on more than 70 stands the exceptional diversity of research activities carried out in the laboratories of the plateau. These stands will offer you a varied choice of fun and educational activities in a wide range of scientific disciplines: biology, chemistry, energy, environment, genetics, artificial intelligence, physics, engineering sciences, etc. About thirty thematic mini-conferences accessible to the general public will also be offered throughout the program.

In the heart of the wave

The oceans are an untamed force of nature. In the context of global warming, it is important to learn about the oceans and how to prevent the damage they can cause on the coast. In this workshop we propose to understand the formation of waves and to show how to predict their characteristics. Numerical simulations of wave breaking will illustrate the contribution of recent numerical tools in the field and how they allow to better understand and apprehend these phenomena as fascinating as mysterious.

Can we believe what we see?

Falsified images and videos will be shown on screen and the processes of fabrication of these false contents will be explained to alert on what is possible to do. Explain that digital images and videos have a "life" which is a sequence of mathematical operations. From paper sheets and envelopes, the public will be able to create an algorithm capable of detecting falsifications in an image.
