The 18 civic projects by first-year ICM students were celebrated on March 27, featuring an exhibition, presentation, and participation in the annual EY competition. The 6 prizes awarded will enable the teams to successfully carry out their initiatives related to solidarity, eco-citizenship, or scientific mediation.
