A Café Scientifique is a place where, for the cost of a cup of coffee or a pint of beer, anyone can participate in a conversation about current science and technology. Every Café has a facilitator and a small group of experts who help to engage participants in a conversation about a selected topic.
The café begins with short presentations by the experts about their own work and general knowledge of the topic, as well as their own ideas or opinions about the topic. These presentations are no longer than 10 minutes each, and serve as a starting point for an ensuing debate and discussion involving all the participants at the cafe. The cafes are very informal, last for a total of about 2 hours, and have typically been attended by upwards of 30 people, although these numbers are growing, and often a crowd of 80 spirited audience members will participate. The Science Centre has been holding a Cafe Scientifique on the third Saturday of every month, since June, 2005.
