The Spring of Science is a major scientific and technological (STEM) event in Wallonia and Brussels. Initiated by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the event is coordinated by the Sciences.be network and organized by French-speaking universities and colleges. It takes place every year at the beginning of spring and is open to everyone, young and old alike. 

Throughout the week, numerous free activities are offered to students during the week and to anyone who is curious. 

Through this week of scientific and technological discovery, the Printemps des Sciences inspires or confirms scientific vocations, helps teachers improve and enrich science education, gives students a more realistic perception of what science is today, improves the general perception of science and technology, contributes to reintegrating science into the heart of general culture, and improves the scientific culture of citizens.

About this year's theme

"The awakening mind: 25 years of scientific culture"

Scientific culture helps us see the world differently: it teaches us to ask questions. Thanks to it, we discover hidden or surprising things that make everyday life more interesting. Scientific culture transforms what seems mundane into something extraordinary. It allows us to better understand our environment, to question ourselves, and to marvel at its beauty and complexity.
