Participants have to present their research effectively to a non-specialist audience.
Following a successful first edition, the competition is back again this year. The competition is organised in two stages: firstly, each university organised its own local selection. In the second stage, the 18 doctoral students selected will take part in the international final organised live at UPPA on 4th July 2024, starting at 2:00 p.m.
The doctoral students will have 3 minutes to give a convincing presentation on their thesis and its importance, in a clear and concise manner.
