A convivial evening celebrating French research

Initiated for the first time in French language by the Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas) in Quebec in 2012, the My thesis in 180 seconds competition was launched in France by the CNRS and the CPU in 2014.

The competition consists in PhD students presenting their thesis subject in three minutes only, while making it attractive and understandable by all. Each PhD student must give a clear, concise, and nonetheless convincing talk about his/her research project, with the support of only one slide!
