THEME 2026 : SCIENCE IN MOTION
Where sport meets science
In 2026, Eurêka! Festival sets Science in Motion. The same force that launches a sprinter off the blocks powers a scientist in the lab: curiosity, determination, and the instinct to test, tweak, and do it again.
Where sport meets science, things get exciting. Movements sharpen through biomechanics. Gear gets smarter with cutting-edge materials. Nutrition fuels performance. Neuroscience trains the mind to stay in the race.
This is your starting line. Jump into challenges. Dive into experiments. Meet the athletes and the scientific minds behind the breakthroughs. Discover how science fuels every move… and how far it will take you.

« Developing a culture of innovation is a priority for Québec’s future, and it must begin within our families, with our young people! The Eurêka! Festival is exactly what we need to make that happen. What a wonderful opportunity to spark a passion for science and technology. It is also a great moment for companies and organizations in the field to introduce themselves to the public and to inspire the next generation through countless interactive and engaging activities. »
