The Annual Scientific Day organized by the Doctoral School is held every year in October and allows all of the school's Doctoral students to meet together, share & discuss their research work and expand their networks. It is an opportunity for them to present their work via oral presentations or posters. Conferences, a round table discussion and a poster competition lend rhythm to this day.
