The invisible unveiled

From October 4 to 25, 2024, the Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France will be exhibiting at the Bibliothèque Universitaire du Campus Mont Houy a series of artistic shots on the theme of the invisible in science.

The aim of this exhibition, initiated by the University of Mons, is to offer a selection of images created from research carried out in the various laboratories of the European universities of the EUNICE alliance, through the Reunice (EUNICE Research) project.

This project is also one of the many events organized for the Fête de la science in the Hauts-de-France region, which this year runs from October 4 to 14, 2024. More information on the Fête de la science.

Exploring the Invisible, an innovative concept from UMONS

In 2010, the University of Mons inaugurates its first exhibition "Exploring the Invisible", highlighting a series of shots taken by university researchers using laboratory instruments inaccessible to photographers.

Following the success of this event, UMONS decided in 2024 to extend the concept to the European level, inviting research players from the ten universities in the EUNICE alliance to submit their works. The result is a selection of 33 images combining science and art, in a wide range of fields: biology, the study of materials, botany...
