Les jeudis du jeu vidéo #5 – Faire de la science avec les jeux vidéos ?

Le Grenier à sel 2 rue du Rempart Saint-Lazare 84000 Avignon
Conference / Debate / Meeting
One Thursday a month, the Grenier à sel hosts a discussion led by a professional from the world of video games, to follow the latest news in the sector together, decipher trends, take a critical look, imagine possibilities…
Are video games only for entertainment, or can they also advance science? From research on player behavior to scientific experiments integrated into some video games, and including games that have contributed to real discoveries, this presentation will explore the connections between these two worlds. Which video games have actually helped research? Why have some projects failed? And above all, could we create new video games using science?

The meeting is moderated by Pol Grasland-Mongrain, PhD, Lecturer at the University of Avignon, President of the association La Science Entre En Jeu.

Let's continue our conversation over a friendly drink!

This event is open to everyone, from novices to specialists.
