Join us to learn about European breakthroughs in Science and Technology.

Five embassies in Canberra are organising a Science Movie Festival to celebrate the importance of sharing and coordinating research across the world to foster innovative approaches to science. This event brings together the embassies of France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Italy, along with the EU Delegation in Australia and the ANU.

During this exciting event, we'll highlight examples of highly successful scientific cooperation between European partners. Two short documentaries from the Franco-German platform ARTE will be screened, in French and German with English subtitles:

• Hera: Planetary Defence - The European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA have both developed probes to deflect asteroids from their trajectories. Hera is ESA’s first mission of this kind.
• ESA’ Euclid – Exploring a Dark Universe - The European probe Euclid took off successfully on 1 July 2023. Its objective is ambitious, to attempt to solve the enigma of dark matter and above all dark energy.

The evening will continue with a panel discussion followed by a networking reception.
