jury composed of 3 membres. Poster will present the research topic and objectives, the experimental strategy, as well as the techniques and methods used.
- JUNE session:
- manuscript deposit date: June , 2024

- Deadline for postponing the thesis to the 2nd session: April 12, 2024. Any request to postpone the submission of the thesis and its defense to the 2nd session must be justified, documented and argued. Beyond this date, any late request for postponement will be taken into account in the final grade (see compliance with instructions).
Ponderation:
- Poster presentation (January) : 15% of the global note
- Promoter evaluation: 25% of the global note
This evaluation takes into account various criteria:
Punctuality, organization of work, integration into the host laboratory, motivation, initiative, sense of responsibility, mobilization of knowledge, scientific curiosity, technical skill, respect for protocols and tools, ability to interpret the results, degree of independence for writing the
dissertation,...
- Evaluation of the manuscript by the jury members: 20% of the global note
- Evaluation of the oral defense: 40% of the global note (15% for the quality of the presentation and 25% for the quality of the answers to the jury's questions).
PLEASE NOTE: If the student obtains a grade of less than 10/20 for the "quality of answers to questions" part during the oral session in June, the student will have to represent his/her work orally at the next session. If at the end of the second session this minimum mark of 10/20 is not reached, the student will not be credited for his/her thesis.
Moreover, penalty will be applicable for NON COMPLIANCE with the instructions (for example, failure to respect the submission date of the manuscript, post-pone to the second session announced after the deadline or for an unjustified reason).
