Abstract
The Lyon Yggdrasil festival takes place each year in February in France. It gathers around 30,000 visitors for one week-end, about topics like Heroïc Fantasy, Manga, Science fiction, video games, fantasy, etc.
Since 2022, a part of the festival focus on « Tomorrow but better », a meeting place for the general public, science institute, innovation and science centers. It is a great opportunity to run a larger outreach operation under the IN2P3 banner and to create reusable outreach content.
