This "geology festival" is an opportunity to reward students who have succeeded in the competition. Visits to laboratories and lectures are part of the half-day programme, providing an opportunity to present possible career paths in the field of geology and to arouse interest and even vocations.
This year, out of 221 entries, 201 candidates from twelve schools in the Bouches du Rhône and Vaucluse regions took part. The academic prize list will reward between 13 and 16 students.
