Planet Education by CRI: Immersion in the infinite space of knowledge
Inspired by WeLearn, the GPS of knowledge developed by CRI's AI teams from Wikipedia, Planet Education will offer an immersion into the infinite space of knowledge. Visit Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupéry, whose talents as an explorer are world-renowned, will guide visitors on their rapid discovery of this rapidly expanding planet.
During this an imaginary and poetic journey projected onto a suspended planisphere, everyone can become aware of the countless connections between disciplines (art, science, technology, etc.) and cultures.
Beyond the immersive, brief and sensational experience, visitors will be invited to delve deeper online into topics related to new ways of learning in the 21st century, AI and collective intelligence, participatory science and more.
“Connecting minds, creating the future”
Read below an extract from the official press release, written by Jean-Yves Le Drian, French Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs. The Dubai World Expo - the largest global gathering of the year - will take place from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022.

Putting scientific and technical innovation at the service of human progress: this is the ambition that France has sought to embody since the Age of Enlightenment.

At the Dubai World Expo, France will be promoting its know-how on the international stage. The Pavilion's ambition during the Dubai World Expo is to highlight France's commitment to building our common future through political, economic, cultural and social initiatives and actions. The French sponsors, actors and talents featured in the France Pavilion will express France's commitment to building a sustainable society, enabling France to defend its new vision of responsible progress.
