Since 2013, the Centre de Calcul de l'Universite de Strasbourg organises an annual seminar in collaboration with the Lycée Marguerite Yourcenar in Erstein near Strasbourg. The students are given scientific lectures to get an insight into potential fields for their future studies and work.

In 2017, using Neurocampus and Eucor as inter-regional frameworks for cooperation in the upper rhine valley, the event took place at the university of Freiburg and students from the German-French Gymnasium in Freiburg were invited to attend the lectures jointly with the French students.
