The SHL (Sophia Hack Lab) is a new associative place of activities and exchanges dedicated to the collaborative realization of scientific and technical projects in Sophia Antipolis, France (close to the French Riviera).
It is located close to the ADVANS Group/ELSYS Design premises in Vallauris.
“The SHL (pronounced “Shell”) is a new place for meeting and collective experimentation in Sophia Antipolis. An innovative and unique concept combining coworking and self-managed collaborative work in associative mode, but above all a “shell” for a community of Makers-Hackers wishing to explore together all the possibilities offered by digital and open-source in terms of innovation and scientific and technical experimentation. Accessible to all ages and every day, day and evening.”
