The Discovery Lunches are an opportunity to enjoy a sandwich during a free, accessible and popularised scientific lecture. All in the unique setting of the peristyle, our open-air (covered) conference area, with a breathtaking view over the Parc du Cinquantenaire.

There's no need to register for the Discovery lunches, which take place from 12:00 to 13:00.

Bring your own lunch or order and pay for one of the delicious dishes from the Tipi Cinquantenaire guinguette.

The space is covered. Conferences will only be moved in the event of the park being closed. This information will be communicated via our social networks and in the calendar on this website.
