Guidelines

Validation of the first and second year of the doctoral programme is conditional upon successful advancement defense.

Report

The advancement report should be submitted by email to Dr. Larcher and Pr. Hachem 7 days before the oral presentation.

The document should:

  • be written in English,
  • maximum 20 pages (including references),
  • using the provided LaTeX template.

Presentation

The defense consists of a 25 min presentation in English followed by questions from the evaluation committee and a scientific discussion with the audience; 40 min is allocated to each talk.
The PDF document of the presentation should be submitted the day before to Dr. Larcher and Pr. Hachem, to cope with any potential technical issue.

Evaluation

The evaluation committee provides a grade based on the combined report and presentation:

  • A: Validation
  • B: Validation with recommendations
  • C: Decision of the committee

In case of Grade C the year is not validated unless the committee allows it under special circumstances.
