When “thinking” is combined with “discovery”, this gives Thinkovery, a media that focuses on major societal issues of today and tomorrow. A concentrate of knowledge, which includes various themes like science, society, health, geopolitics, environment and economy.

An original idea that the founder of Thinkovery, Loïc le Gac, a passionate entrepreneur and culture buff had when he got fed up with having to buy several specialized magazines. That was when he had the idea of creating a website bringing together all current topics, and the website www.Thinkovery.com was launched in September 2013.

Available by subscription, thinkovery.com popularizes the most diverse scientific knowledge, because the understanding of this knowledge should not be restricted to elites and specialists.

Every day, a new video is posted, linked to a specific problem. Each time, an expert presents the results of his research, speaking freely on a specific theme. His words are illustrated with animated graphics that facilitate the viewer’s understanding. These educational videos enable to think about the subject and they help the reader learn about the world that surrounds us.

Since October 2014, Thinkovery has enriched its offer by also publishing a quarterly print magazine, which is a complement to the website. It offers 150 pages of news, chronicles, researchers' profiles, comics…, to clarify current research.

You can discover Thinkovery on www.thinkovery.com or in the kiosks.
