Young Researchers Seminars

Our young researchers present their work

First-year PhD students present their subject, the context of the study and highlight the main objectives of their work: bibliographic study, experimental techniques to be used or developed, scientific and technological barriers, first results obtained.

Third-year PhD students focus on the most important outcomes, research achievements and perspectives.
