The YGGDRASIL festival took place last February 4 and 5 in the city of Lyon. Mélissa Escobar, PhD candidate of our project, had the opportunity to disseminate her research work about design and strong sustainability.

On February 3rd and 4th, the Eurexpo Park in Lyon was the venue for the YGGDRASIL FESTIVAL. It gathers more than 30,000 enthusiasts of the worlds of imagination and geek-pop culture. During this festival, the session "Tomorrow, but better" took place. It was an immersive exhibition on everything that happens in the field of science to prepare for a positive and humanistic tomorrow. Mélissa Escobar, PhD candidate at the Institut Henri FAYOL EMSE in partnership with La Rotonde - Centre de Sciences, took part in a "speed searching" section in the popular science area of the Collège Ingénierie.

This event was a great opportunity and an excellent experience for our PhD students to disseminate their research work to society. In the words of Mélissa Escobar: "The public was very interested in the research on Strong Sustainability, although the topic was a bit in contrast with the futuristic atmosphere (in a world of infinite resources). They left grateful that they understood that we were doing research anchored in the reality of the environmental problem. The day was full of great meetings. The public was wildly diverse: EDF staff, families, politicians..."

Many thanks to Melissa for her commitment to the dissemination of her research and the objectives of the ANR D-TechnoSS project (ANR-20-CE10-0006).
