🙋 Volunteer & Get Free Registration
We’re looking for students (and anyone else!) to volunteer as wayfinders at the Summit — especially those familiar with the Massey/Paris-Saclay area or École Polytechnique campus.
Even if you’re not familiar with the area, we have plenty of other volunteer opportunities available. All on-site volunteers receive free registration.
