The PhD students' seminar (DocSem)

Aims
The ambition is to offer a space for discussion and collective work between PhD students at the CERI - notably to discuss the various challenges encountered during the PhD and share advice on how to overcome them. It is also a friendly and regular meeting place for PhD students, regardless of their doctoral year.

Audience
This seminar is aimed at CERI PhD students and post-doctoral students.

Format
We agreed to adopt a variety of formats in the seminar, according to the PhD students’ needs and interests. Each session focuses on a specific theme, announced and prepared in advance. The themes addressed are generally precise and circumscribed. Each session includes one or more presentations (maximum three) and a group discussion of at least thirty minutes.

Content
The sessions are intended to be relevant to the needs of the doctoral students. Thus, Docsem's planning is implemented depending on the questions expressed by doctoral students. Sessions have a practical objective to allow us to progress in our research (and our daily life as a PhD student) through group discussions.
