The 2nd “days of the lab” took place on the 4th & 5th of May in Autrans at Escandille and was organised by Maria Ghannoum, Tanguy Laurencin, Eleni Stavropoulou and Mireille De Sousa Pfister. Continuing the tradition of the “Journée des thèses”, the days of the lab is a 2-day event where the people who work in 3SR, have the opportunity to share their work with each other, discuss and socialise. The program included this year 9 PhD presentations (3 from each team), a poster session and a general assembly. Prof. Jöel Chevrier was invited to give a presentation on “Teaching with smartphones” and Alessandro Tengattini shared his PhD work with a 3′ video from Sydney. For the first time all the first year PhD students had the opportunity to present themselves through a video, now available on Youtube. (report by Eleni. ) Continue reading
