Lisa Recnik
Austria Director
After having met Pint of Science in the UK and France, I couldn’t help bringing this amazing idea to my home country! I love to mix up languages in conversations, climb yet another mountain or anticipate the next book to add to my bookshelf. I'm so excited about #pint20! :)
Guillaume Corradino
Belgium Director
Passionate about space and green technologies, my day job is to support and promote European research. After more than 10 years living in Belgium I have lost faith in meteorology but I am very excited to help put some science in Belgian pints!
Marina Manganaro
Croatia Director
Chaotic Astroparticle Physicist, focused on extra-galactic sources: I participated in Pint of Science Tenerife and loved it! So I had to start it in my new home, Croatia. I am an enthusiastic Linux user, Dungeon Master and coffee addicted. People always tell me that I am unstoppable!
Elodie Chabrol
France & International Director
Hyperactive neuroscientist who loves sci-comm! I jumped into the Pint of Science adventure the first year in London, then founded the French one and now I help new countries to launch the festival. My mission? Make science accessible to everyone, everywhere!
Lloyd Montgomery
Germany Director
I am a Software Engineering PhD student interested in exploring what simple tools can do to improve complex processes. When I’m not in the office, I enjoy squash, badminton, billiards, video games, and beer. Interested in Software Engineering or any of the above? Let’s chat over a pint!

I am a biotechnologist and Medical genetics MSc and a huge science enthusiast. I am here because I love the idea of making science comprehensible and interesting to everybody, especially when this is accompanied by good wine or beer! Let's grab our pints and sci-chat!
Floriane Louboutin
Hungary Director
Since the first Pint of Science in France (2014), I am involved in this festival. When I get back to school for studying veterinary medicine in Budapest it didn't exist here. That's why I've decided to set it up in Hungary. Come and join us for the 1st Pint in Hungary!

I decided that I would become a Physicist when I was 10 years old and all my friends dreamed of being a princess. All in all I did not go wrong! Being a researcher has opened the door to a very precious kingdom: that of knowledge. Particles, cats, pottery and sailing are my sparkling world!
