The Labex DigiCosme is organizing the ISN competition each year in partnership with the Rectorat de Versailles. It is open to all high schools of the Académie de Versailles, which offer the ISN option. This event is an opportunity to create links between secondary and higher education. In addition, educational material (robots, tablets, arduino) given to the winning high schools strengthen computer teaching in secondary schools.

Every year, during the awards ceremony, sponsors share their feedback.
