The Improbable Research Group is pleased to invite you to its official launch on April 8, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Lafayette Anticipations (with the possibility to attend online).
This inaugural gathering marks the beginning of a collective research dynamic grounded in Art Thinking — where creation becomes a method of inquiry and science becomes a force for creation.
We are delighted to host this first event in one of the most inspiring spaces for contemporary creation: Lafayette Anticipations.
