Concours "Ma thèse en 180 secondes"

180 secondes pour faire partager votre passion. 180 secondes pour expliquer clairement les enjeux de votre thèse. 180 secondes pour convaincre le jury. 180 secondes pour résumer plusieurs années de travail. 180 secondes pour vous qualifier pour la finale nationale. Voilà le challenge du concours « Ma thèse en 180 secondes » (MT180 pour les intimes).

Piloté par la Conférence des présidents d'université et le CNRS à l’échelon national, le concours est relayé dans notre région par l’UB, l’UFC et l’UTBM, avec une finale qui se tiendra à Besançon le vendredi 17 avril 2015.

Pour vous préparer à cet exercice, plusieurs formations sont proposées à Besançon dans le programme de formations mutualisées (modules CSIV-PPP 1 à 4), dont une à l’issue de laquelle vos présentations pourront être enregistrées en vue de candidater pour la finale régionale. Mais chaque jeune chercheur qui souhaite participer au concours pourra fournir sa propre vidéo de 3 minutes environ présentant ses travaux d'une manière compréhensible pour les non-spécialistes.
