[CANCELED] — Ig Nobel Award Tour Show 2020
On Monday March 30, 2020, EPFL should have welcomed for the fifth 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. On the menu this year, pizza, wine and football. A great opportunity to see science from an original point of view, in a show that is both funny and inspiring, and an encouragement for scientists to think outside the box.
