Students will have to prepare an abstract in French or English, which will be handed out to the audience, and will get 10 minutes to present their research in French or English, using visual aids. After each talk, there will be a 5-minute Q&A.
The student symposium will be organized before the May-June exam session so students can incorporate the feedback they received into their research paper.
