Science Meets Lost Worlds

The Unexpected Escapes of CNRS invite you on a journey through time to understand our future. How does paleontology, through the study of fossils and ancient climates, tell us fascinating stories?
How have species adapted to climate upheavals? What do these transformations teach us about current global changes?
By studying these adaptation models, scientists decode the mechanisms of biodiversity and the evolution of life to anticipate future trends.
Wander through the exhibition of research conducted by scientific teams in the Occitanie region. Participate in demonstration conferences, micro-conferences, educational and fun workshops, documentary screenings… Discover unique fossils from the paleontological collection of the University of Montpellier.
