Ig Nobel Award Tour Show 2017

Mar 21, 2017, from 18:00 until 20:00, EPFL, Forum Rolex

On Tuesday March 21, EPFL will welcome for the second time the Ig Nobel Award Tour Show, with Marc Abrahams and a line-up of Ig Nobel Prize winners, with the support of the NCCR MARVEL.

The Ig Nobel Prizes honor achievements that makes people laugh, and then think. The prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative — and spur people's interest in science, medicine, and technology.
