The conference was introduced by Françoise Levavasseur, one of the co-organizers with Rachel Onifarasoaniaina and Margaux Versapuech. Then Florence Niedergang, director of Institut Cochin, presented the Institute and recalled the importance of training young people. Morgane Le Bras, president of Arbre des Connaissances, then presented the different actions of this association of researchers.
The pairs of middle and high school students impressed with their ease and the clarity of their presentations. At the end of the Conference, all the students received their Apprentice Researcher diploma from Laurence Benit, former coordinator of this action at Institut Cochin.
