The Fête de la Science is the perfect opportunity for children and adults alike to take part in fun activities and learn about biology, chemistry, archaeology and scientific investigation from professionals. For a whole week, you can take advantage of open doors at Parisian universities, science-related museums and other institutions to expand your knowledge.
Hôpital Necker-Enfants Malades was founded in 1927, merging Hôpital Necker, dedicated to adults since 1778, and Hôpital des Enfants Malades, created in 1801 as the world's first pediatric hospital. Today, Hôpital Necker-Enfants Malades has 580 beds, mainly dedicated to pediatric care.
It is home to numerous research units whose excellence contributes to the Hospital's reputation and results, and which came together in 2014 to form the Imagine and INEM institutes, created to advance science and transform knowledge into solutions to healthcare challenges, particularly around pediatric cancers and genetic diseases.
We invite you to discover the mysteries of the cells that cause cancer. Where do they come from, and how can they be eliminated? Plunge into the heart of cancer research by observing these very special cells under the microscope.
Proteins are biological molecules that perform numerous functions to keep our cells healthy. Come and discover a technique used daily in our laboratory, which enables us to separate and analyze them. This method uses antibodies to reveal the mysteries of proteins, offering a detailed insight into the cellular machinery.
The Kidney Disease Mechanisms and Therapeutics team is recruiting you, our young researchers, to save our biobank filled with urine samples from patients with polycystic kidney disease. Join our laboratory for an "escape game" that will highlight the importance of interdisciplinary research in facilitating innovative research and advances in the understanding of chronic kidney disease.
The Institut Necker Enfants Malades invites you to discover the mysteries of science through interactive workshops. Learn how researchers track down aggressive cancer cells and observe proteins at work in our bodies. Take part in our Escape game "To the rescue of the polycystic kidney disease biobank" and explore the beauty of the microworld. Investigate the micro-organisms that inhabit us and discover why our intestinal bacteria are so interesting. Take part in art workshops with the Readymade-ART-Lab.
These workshops are designed to awaken the scientific curiosity of young and old alike, with no prior knowledge required. Join us for a day of discovery and fun learning!

Bacteria are all around you, and even inside you! Some species are involved in fermenting yoghurt or sauerkraut, others work in harmony with your intestines, but you also know that some species can make you ill... How can you tell them apart? Come and discover which one is hiding under your microscope.
The intestinal microbiota is made up of hundreds of different types of bacteria and can be considered an organ, since it performs many essential functions. Some, like the SFB bacterium, are even necessary for the education of our immune system. This bacterium may look scary and make your intestines hairy, but without it, you're more likely to suffer from infections. Come and discover this mysterious bacterium with us! On the program: reading, poster exhibition, comic strip and demonstration.
Admire the beauty of organ structure and cell dynamics during an exhibition of our finest photos and videos, then rediscover everyday objects in a new light thanks to our digital microscope and a fun quiz.
A unique visual and educational experience not to be missed!
Would you like to immerse yourself in the day-to-day life of a microbiology laboratory without having to put on a lab coat? Around the table, reorganize the tools available and try to figure out which technique will be useful in answering the question: what's that gene for?
Scientists are like artists, making amazing connections that lead to incredible discoveries. Join us at the Readymade-Art-Lab to explore the fascinating tools and laboratory materials used by scientists in their experiments. Together we'll create unique art objects from laboratory materials, which you can take home to dazzle your friends and family!
