A new partnership agreement between Molior and the Montréal Science Centre
Montréal, April 29, 2010 -
Molior is delighted to announce the signature of a three-year strategic alliance with the Montréal Science
Centre (MSC). The agreement will yield many projects that unite media arts and science. It stems from the
success achieved by previous collaborations between the two organizations, with such events as the Rotation
X-trême show (2005) and Festival Eurêka! (2009).
The interdisciplinary approach promoted by the partnership will fuel fruitful, mutually beneficial exchanges.
A culture that encourages the growth of critical thinking and socially responsible engagement in current issues
is built on a combination of scientific, technological and artistic skills. Future joint efforts by Molior and the
MSC will foster the emergence of enlightened young researchers and artists who are ready to take over the
challenge of producing scientific knowledge, technological development and innovative creations.
