February 14, 2019: 1st Science Bar
The first Science Bar of the season will take place on Thursday February 14 at 8:30 pm on the theme: "Wine yesterday, today and tomorrow - geology, archaeology, climate change".
The season opens with a special evening dedicated to wine. This beverage, closely linked to the history of human ingenuity, has spanned the greatest civilizations of antiquity. Vines and wine have always been an important part of Western society... But from the amphora to the bottle, wines have changed!
Today, the impact of climate change on vineyards is no longer a matter of debate, and is causing major upheaval throughout the industry. The socio-economic stakes are high, and the whole sector is having to adapt. What kind of wines will we be drinking in the coming decades?
This unprecedented science-society debate exceptionally brings together five researchers:
=> Bruno Blondin, Director of the Institut des Hautes Études de la Vigne et du Vin at Montpellier SupAgro
=> Hervé Hannin, Director of Development at the Institut des Hautes Études de la Vigne et du Vin at Montpellier SupAgro
=> Claude Raynaud, Research Director at the Laboratoire Archéologie des Sociétés Méditerranéennes (CNRS - Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier)
=> Michel Séranne, Researcher at the Geosciences Laboratory (CNRS - University of Montpellier)
=> Jean-Marc Touzard, Research Director at INRA, Deputy Director of the Innovation and Development in Agriculture and Food Unit (INRA - CIRAD - Montpellier SupAgro).

A special evening to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Bar des sciences!
Science and technology are increasingly present in our daily lives; discussing them is a democratic act.
Human encounters, mixing of disciplines, clash of cultures, sharing of points of view... Unlike a formal conference, the Bar des Sciences is an invitation to exchange ideas between scientists and specialists in a given subject and the general public.
Co-produced by the University of Montpellier and the COMUE Languedoc-Roussillon Universités, in partnership with INSERM, IRD and IRSTEA, the Montpellier Science Bar offers a privileged venue for citizen debate, reinforcing the dialogue between science and society.
The season is organized with the invaluable help of Brasserie le Dôme, Radio Aviva, Semaine du cerveau and Pint of science.
