MT180: Public Selections - 3rd series

This year some thirty EPFL doctoral students have entered the Ma thèse en 180 secondes (MT180) competition.

In three minutes, each student will present his or her research topic in simple terms to a non-specialist audience, in French or English. The aim of this popularization exercise is to present a clear, concise and  yet compelling explanation of their research project, supported by a single slide !

The selections are open to the public and take place on 21, 29 and 30 January. Unlike the final, the selections are not recorded for the public. Colleagues, friends, families, thesis directors, come to listen to them and encourage them!

IMPORTANT:

• Opening of doors to the public: 12:00 to 12:15
• Selections begin at 12:15
• The public arriving after 12:15 is asked to wait outside so that presenters are not disturbed. If the door is closed, we will open between presentations but please try to be on time for the beginning.
