Sounds of Science 2022

The French Embassy in the Czech Republic and the French Institute in Prague organised a general public scientific conference called “Sounds of Science” on June 23rd, 2022 in National House Vinohrady. This exceptional event brought together three leading French scientists:

Jean-Marie Lehn (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1987)
Jean Tirole (Nobel Prize in Economy 2014)
Thomas Ebbesen (Kavli Prize for Nanoscience 2014)

They presented the latest scientific concepts in their respective disciplines in an accessible way for the general public, from high school students to researchers.

A musical performance by the renowned French pianist, composer and musicologist Karol Beffa complemented this scientific programme, including the screening of a 1920 silent movie by René Clair, “Paris qui dort/ The Crazy Ray”, with improvised piano accompaniment.

This event was held in English.

Moderator: Daniel Stach (Česká televize).

Welcome to the National House Vinohrady, whose unique premises are a frequent venue for international events, congresses, exhibitions, balls, graduation balls, concerts and other events of work and social life.

The imposing four-storey building of the National House Vinohrady has been a characteristic reflection of the culture of the late nineteenth century since 1894. Here, the majesty of the Neo-Renaissance style is combined with a modern event background with the possibility of using external catering companies and also external AV companies, with easy accessibility (subway stop Náměstí Míru) and with professional staff, all under the auspices of the Together gastro alliance.

Imagine your next event in one of the three impressive halls of this historic building. You can invite up to 1500 guests!
