✍️✨ We recently hosted the Sci-Fi Creative Night with stories inspired by Cosmos Archaeology What better way to explore the Cosmos Archaeology exhibition at the Shanghai Astronomy Museum than through sci-fi stories? Space has long been subject to wild theories and opened countless stories based on human imagination and creativity. It seemed very natural to link the exhibition to science fiction stories. We invited 8 students from Fudan University to visit the exhibition and write short sci-fi stories based on the artworks. Our Sci-Fi Creative Night was a showcase of their stories and was indeed full of surprises. We enjoyed a series of story presentations and a lively panel with sci-Fi writer Bo Jiang, Iris X Long, co-curator of the exhibition and Philippe Roesle (何辉), CEO of Swissnex in China. We discussed the power of storytelling to evoke emotions, how to draw inspiration from real science, and intriguing questions like how we can narrate from a non-human/alien perspective 🌌👽 Read some excerpts: https://lnkd.in/et3QSV53  Learn more about the exhibition: https://lnkd.in/enzePJMW

The Horizon Europe Project SuRE "Sustainable, Reliable, and Efficient Floating PV Power Plants," coordinated by the IFE, officially kicked off in Norway! 🌍🚀   This 3-year HEU Innovation Action brought together 11 partners from 7 countries for its launch event. Two productive days of discussions about the project’s implementation were followed by a tour of the IFE Solar Labs for consortium members.   The SuRE project (SUstainable, Reliable, and Efficient) is focused on tackling the key challenges of Floating Photovoltaics (FPV), critical to Europe’s transition to a climate-neutral future. SuRE aims to: - Enhance sustainability by minimizing potential negative impacts and enhancing positive impacts on biodiversity, and ensuring compliance with end-of-life requirements. - Improve reliability by developing and testing FPV components that meet structural and functional demands throughout their lifecycle. - Boost affordability by reducing the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) from FPV power plants, making renewable energy more accessible.   The project will be coordinated by Josefine Selj and Mário Silva from IFE.   A big thank you to all participants for your insightful presentations and shared enthusiasm! We’re excited to collaborate with this dedicated consortium to bring innovative FPV solutions to the forefront of the energy transition.   Ciel & Terre International Laketricity BayWa r.e.

[NEUCHÂTEL SE PRÉSENTE À BERNE] 🟢⚪️🔴 #Culture, #innovation et #patrimoine horloger : le Conseil d’État s’est rendu au Palais fédéral ce mardi 5 mars 2024 pour présenter les atouts du Canton de Neuchâtel et promouvoir le projet de Capitale Culturelle Suisse, dont la première édition se déroulera à La Chaux-de-Fonds en 2027. Il était notamment accompagné du Conseil communal de la Ville de La Chaux-de-Fonds et d’une délégation de partenaires cantonaux. Le Conseil d’État neuchâtelois in corpore est allé à la rencontre des parlementaires et des hauts fonctionnaires fédéraux à l’occasion d’un apéritif dînatoire aux saveurs neuchâteloises. L’événement s’est tenu à la Galerie des Alpes du Palais fédéral. La conseillère fédérale Elisabeth Baume-Schneider, ainsi que des parlementaires et des hauts fonctionnaires fédéraux y ont participé. Le projet de La Chaux-de-Fonds Capitale culturelle suisse, dont la première édition se déroulera en 2027, a récolté de nombreux soutiens au niveau fédéral. Le Conseil d’État a donc saisi l’opportunité de sa rencontre avec les parlementaires fédéraux pour les encourager à soutenir ce projet d’envergure nationale. Une œuvre photovoltaïque réalisée par le photographe neuchâtelois Xavier Voirol, en collaboration avec l’association Compáz a également été dévoilée. L’œuvre sera installée sur le site des Anciens Abattoirs de la cité horlogère, appelé à devenir l’un des cœurs battants de Capitale Culturelle Suisse en 2027. L’énergie produite par l’œuvre servira à alimenter l’ancienne horloge de ce bâtiment historique, actuellement en restauration. 📝 Plus d'infos dans ce communiqué https://lnkd.in/eWVQCc6w 📷 Retour en image sur cet événement via https://lnkd.in/eAVMdMBV Ville de La Chaux-de-Fonds, Musée international d'horlogerie, CSEM, arcjurassien.ch
