AvanThèse
[0.5 to 3 days]
Should I do a PhD? That is the question, and it is best to know your answer to it before making a three-year commitment or giving up due to a lack of information! Developed jointly by representatives of academia and the socio-economic sphere, AvanThèse is a workshop to help you reach an informed answer to that question.

Companies, research institutes, universities, foundations and other organizations: please contact us to schedule an AvanThèse workshop.
