Chloé Carrière

Chloé Carrière, also known as Galactic Chloé, is a space technology engineer, science communicator, and creator of innovative projects aimed at making science accessible to all. Committed to fostering a more inclusive and sustainable scientific community, she speaks internationally to inspire the next generation and promote diversity in STEM fields.

 

In this inspiring talk, Chloé Carrière recounts her atypical and resilient journey. From her teenage dream of becoming a moonwalker to her role at the European Space Agency (ESA), she retraces her unusual journey.

However, there is nothing straightforward about this journey; it is made up of unexpected turns, self-doubt, life's setbacks, courageous decisions, and battles against the gender stereotypes that still exist in the scientific sector. Through a lively narrative illustrated with personal and professional images, she demonstrates that it is possible to forge your own path in structured environments and make your mark.

This is a deeply human tale where science meets vulnerability and setbacks become springboards to unexpected places.
