Over to PhD Students

The "Du laboratoire au terrain, partegeons nos savoirs" webinars give PhD students the opportunity to present their thesis topic to professionals in the water sector in five minutes, followed by a discussion with them. The aim is twofold: to make scientific research accessible in a concise format, and to foster dialogue between early-career researchers and practitioners in the field.

Each presentation provides a quick introduction to a research topic, its challenges and its potential applications.
