On 11 April 2017, Guillaume Gerandi, a student in his first thesis year of the "Fire" Project facilitated, at Fesch College, a conference aimed at students in the Science stream of the last year of high school with Physics as a speciality, entitled "Structuring of research work on fires" (in French: "Organisation d'un travail de recherche sur la thématique des feux").
The purpose of this event was to give students a better understanding of how to organise a research assignment. Support throughout the presentation was provided using his thesis as an example. Students were given the opportunity to see what constitutes "cutting edge" in a particular field of research, as well as the setting up of an experimental protocol leading to the processing of initial results.
