These competitions, designed to develop a scientific culture and a taste for research, mobilize thousands of high school students every year under the guidance of their teachers. They also foster links between national education, research and the economic world.
By bringing together all disciplines, this ceremony enables the distinguished students to discover the diversity of scientific approaches and the wealth of projects carried out by their peers.

A fine celebration of the commitment, curiosity and talent of tomorrow's young scientists. 🌟
