Definition

  • The Café Scientifique, or Science Café, is a term used to refer to events in informal settings, such as coffee shops, pubs, restaurants, and other public places, in which laypeople interact face-to-face with scientists. These cafés are part of a broader movement that aims to engage nonscientists in dialogues—and sometimes decision making—about science and technology developments.
