Themed workshop
Composing, organizing and writing your PhD thesis (in France)
[0.5 to 1 day]
The phase of actually writing the PhD thesis is one that many doctoral candidates fear for a variety of reasons: inadequate knowledge of the explicit and implicit rules, apprehensions about the very act of writing, the implications of giving formal shape to the research work, etc. This workshop is an opportunity to demystify the exercise by taking a look at the expectations of the academic system and the methods that work best for each doctoral candidate.
