Natures sonores

What is it?

Natures sonores is an over-year cycle of conferences for a large audience. This cycle is prepared and cooked by Benoît Hické, from the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle.

Four to five conferences are organized each year.

Conferences are held in the Grande Galerie d’Evolution of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, France in the site of the Jardin des Plantes.

EAR regularly participates to the selection of the speakers and to possible discussions with the speakers on stage.
