PhysiScope Genève, discover physics in a new way — •Olivier Gaumer — PhysiScope - Physics Section, Geneva, Switzerland

The PhysiScope is a public science-theatre and laboratory operated jointly by MaNEP and the Physics Section since 2007 at the University of Geneva. This endeavor strives to motivate the younger generations to embrace a scientific career and introduce the general public to physics and some of its current scientific challenges. To do so, the PhysiScope offers a close and personal encounter with physics through participative and entertaining shows.

Maintaining high standards and ensuring a constant renewal of its presentations are paramount to the long term durability of the PhysiScope. Hence, developing new content to convey the fascination of physics in an attractive manner deserves special attention.

Now, the Physiscope has been running for the third successful year. Attendance is still increasing and since its inauguration in 2008, over 8000 visitors enjoyed a performance on physics.
