Places to visit Science and technology Franche-Comté

In the setting of the garden of the Arquebus, true garden of sciences with this botanic garden and the Natural history museum of natural history, you will find the Planetarium of Dijon. Must see to observe and understand sciences, nature, space... That it is for the children with the films young people which explain stars or planets or for all the public ones with projections on the birth of the life, the theory of the evolution of Darwin, on the forces of nature, the solar system or on the end of the dinosaur... It is not less than 7 shows who are proposed to you and who will make you differently discover the world with a projection with 360°! Moreover, a visit with the planetarium will enable you to discover the permanent exhibition "Of star with mineral". Then to plunge the head in stars while having the feet on the ground, come to visit the Planetarium!

This multimedia pole of Franche-Comté is set up by the Country of Montbéliard, with the support of the Development and Planning Agency for economic development. 12 years ago, the creation of the CICV Pierre Schaeffer already emerged in the techniques of the image. Today, Numerica, a multimedia pole of Franche-comté, looks at new technologies on a new day: digital for industry. For the first time, researchers and economic actors associate themselves with the same project to develop new technologies in the direction of image, but also for their use in the industrial production chain. The economic and cultural tradition of the region lends itself to such a marriage. Built on the campus campus of the Jura Gates in Montbéliard, the Multimedia development centre marks the Uniqueness and excellence of this unique project in France. On 4 400 m 2 and three levels, this centre brings together all actors in information and communication technology. Businesses, teachers, researchers, students, trainers work in the same place.

In partnership with the Science Pavilion, the University of Franche-Comté opened a unique site of discovery: La Sciences, which wants both exposure room and place of experimentation. With a playful approach, the establishment allows you to understand and understand scientific research processes through explanatory panels, scenes and demonstrations. Actullement, the structure hosts the exhibition "Light, thoroughly the photons" that will reveal you the phenomena observed on the light and the scientific advances resulting from it. Absolutely exciting!

The Jura pioneered the establishment of the uniform collection and sorting system throughout the department, before it expanded at national level in the 1980 s. Many cities have long been the «eco-citizens' commune». The recyclable waste of the inhabitants, grouped in a single blue bin per family, is collected "door-to-door", then manually differentiated at the sorting center and then recycled in some areas, creating jobs. As for the contents of the gray lid trash, it is incinerated at the adjacent plant. The heat of the incineration is recovered in particular to heat collective housing and the Aqua 'Rel center of Lons-le-Saunier. Visit places where garbage is sorted and incinerated? What a funny idea! However, the staff of the CDTOM welcome an average of 3,000 visitors per year. The free visit of the centers is instructive in many ways. The processes of waste management in the Jura and all facilities can be discovered. Documents are also available through the site and social network.

The Saint-Marcel site in Saône-et-Loire, France, is dedicated to the assembly of heavy equipment for nuclear reactors. It has 850 employees and 39,000 m² of workshop space. Since its creation in 1975, the site has supplied over 675 components for 106 nuclear reactors in 11 countries. These include reactor vessels, steam generators, pressurizers and primary piping. In addition to nuclear components, the plant also manufactures shaped parts for the aerospace industry. The Saint-Marcel site also houses part of the French teams of Framatome's Technical Center, who carry out research and development activities for the design and manufacture of heavy components essential to nuclear power plants.
