We invite you to meet inspiring personalities in unexpected places. Each encounter is unique. It’s a reminder of how the power of a dream can change a destiny.
It’s a rare moment of exchange, when the stage symbolically transforms into a backstage area, allowing you to have a privileged exchange with the guest personalities and all the participants.
The subjects are diverse, sharing their openness to the world.
It’s also an opportunity for us to meet you and thank you for your support and commitment.
“I wanted to be a pilot or an astronomer – I became both. Then I became an astronaut, but when I was a kid we hadn’t been in space and astronauts didn’t exist yet.”
On December 18, 2024, Claude Nicollier, Astrophysicist, ESA Astronaut, EPFL Honorary Professor, inaugurated “Les Rencontres ASED” at the Musée d’Ethnographie in Geneva. He shared with us his memories, his childhood dreams, his extraordinary career and the photos he took during his four missions in space. With his characteristic humility and wisdom, he gave a simple account of the infectious wonder he feels for our planet.
That evening, we all had our heads in the stars ✨
