About Us

 We are a group of IB1 and IB2 students from Tampereen Lyseon Lukio, Tampere, Finland. and we consist of 12 students. Café Scientifique is a CAS project of ours, and our objective is to organize one talk per month. 

​

We reach out to scientists who specialize in different kinds of fields and organize an event where they can present their own topics from their field to anyone attending. Science is an incredibly broad field, meaning we will be able to learn all kinds of things, whether it's the past or the future!

​

Originally from Leeds, England, the first Café Scienitifique took place in 1998. The concept was first brought to Finland by the British Council, who, working alongside the French Institute, organized the first cafés in Helsinki. The first Tampere Café Scientifique was founded by professor Howy Jacobs and Kaarina Ojasti (with her IB students) in 2008. Now Howy and Kaarina are helping us to relaunch the original Café here at Rellu!

​

We are open to anyone who wants to come, and encourage you to join us!

​

 Each of us is working hard on our own time to make sure the events happen as smoothly as possible.
