ED SIS Seminar

The 2023 seminar is only open to doctoral students who have registered for their first thesis between January 1 and December 31, 2021.

Séminaire de l'ED SPI 30 juin et 1er juillet 2022- Vannes
2022 Seminar, Vannes

This mandatory two-day event gives doctoral students the opportunity to present their research topic to a jury and an audience that is not necessarily specialized in the field of research (other doctoral students, researchers and teacher-researchers from the units).

Each year, more than 100 presentations contribute to the success of this meeting.

Attending these days is highly recommended for other doctoral students, especially first-year students, who have the opportunity to open up to the different thematic areas covered by the ED and to stimulate their scientific curiosity and open-mindedness.
 

The seminar is not intended to replace your annual Individual Monitoring Committee, which you should also schedule

  •     Each exchange, in French or in English, will last 25 minutes

    •         15 minutes to present successively :

      •                 the general context of the preparation of the thesis (location, financing...)

      •                 the presentation of the problematic and the methods used,

      •                 at least one slide of bibliography with references from your lab and from outside,

      •                 the presentation and analysis of the results already obtained,

      •                 the scientific production achieved and to come,

      •                 the current situation in relation to the objectives set,

      •                 any problems encountered,

      •                 the current and future valorization of the thesis work, the scientific production (publications and communications),

      •                 the definition of the professional project.

    •        10 minutes for discussions between the doctoral student and the audience.
