Every
year, the Cité de l’espace showcases a temporary
exhibition on a wide variety of subjects relating to current space
events in response to requests from the many visitors it receives.
In 2004, the Cité de l’espace will
be featuring a milestone exhibition.
MISSION BIOSPACE is highly innovative in both
its content and form.
At a moment in time when more and more young people
are neglecting scientific studies, and future science is losing
ground to the present instant, MISSION BIOSPACE provides another
take on Science and undertakes to give a better idea of the true
usefulness of Research.
In addition to the space-related topics which
are the main feature of the Cité de l’espace, this
exhibition highlights the multidisciplinary nature of Research
and the complementarity between the exact sciences and the humanities
through a careful selection of scientific investigations and achievements.
MISSION
BIOSPACE interactively spans a wide and varied spectrum of knowledge
areas such as medicine, nanotechnologies, communications, and
nutrition, all compelling subjects that raise technological, ethical
and social questions.
Through an imaginary - and exciting - journey,
the exhibition invites travellers to ask questions.
The Cité de l’espace shares this
forward-looking, dynamic outlook with a large number of companies
that entertain a more global vision of Research as a force of
progress.
Yes, scientific and technical knowledge are generally
the driving force bringing progress and change to society.
Yes, Man's choices are all-powerful in the directions
Research and its applications will take.
Yes, the choices we make today will dictate our
place in tomorrow's world.
Science stands by Man in his visions of the future.
This is what MISSION BIOSPACE attempts to emphasize, in an interactive,
hands-on way.
Visitors of all ages, levels of
education and knowledge will be invited to share in a formidable
human adventure.
