The Balcon des Sciences (Balcony of Sciences) at the Musée de l'Homme anthropology museum in Paris is a space dedicated to researching biodiversity and the relationship between human beings and nature. It is also an interactive space open to the public, hosting meetings and discussions, educational tools, etc.
As part of this programme, the ENGIE Foundation also supports the annual 'Research talent' call for projects: the theme in 2018 is 'The resilience of our societies in the face of climate change'.
The Musée de l’Homme is Europe's only ‘laboratory museum’ dedicated to thinking about the past and future of mankind. Three key questions underpin its work: Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going?
Role of the ENGIE Foundation
The ENGIE Foundation was the sole founding patron of the Balcon des Sciences, developed for the reopening of the museum in 2015.
