The second Pop‑Up Lab at Hexagone (France) took place from 27 to 29 January 2026 at INP‑UGA/ENSE3 – Graduate School of Sustainable Engineering for Energy, Water and Environment in Grenoble. Once again led by circus and dance artist Fanny Soriano, the workshop invited engineering students to step outside analytical thinking and explore sensitive, emotional, and embodied approaches to the living world.

Through movement‑based experimentation, participants examined how humans can perceive and relate to other species beyond technical or rational frameworks. The workshop culminated in a conference by a senior engineer titled “How to Include the Living World in Engineering”, opening a dialogue on how future engineers might integrate ecological awareness into their professional practice.
