E2M2 Competition topics


    _ Applicants must apply for one of the published topics on ADUM
    _ The list includes more topics than available allocations. For the school, the aim is to select the applications that guarantee the best feasibility between the candidate, the subject, the team and the resources. It is therefore this set that is evaluated by the jury.

Management


Before the publication of the results of the master's degree, or equivalent, candidates must contact the director of the thesis in which they are interested and discuss the doctoral project in preparation for the competition.

Auditions for E2M2 competition

After the examination of the applications (eligibility stage), the jury of the competition establishes the list of candidates who will be auditioned (one candidate maximum per researcher or teacher-researcher and per thesis subject).

The duration of the test is 20 minutes (oral presentation + questions and answers).

    The oral presentation (10 min) must mention your M2 research internship, or equivalent, up to 50% of your presentation and a presentation of the doctoral project with the provisional planning and, if applicable, the envisaged professional orientation up to 50% of the presentation;
    After the presentation, the jury questions the candidate (10 min) for additional information related to his/her curriculum, training, doctoral project, and, if applicable, professional project.

The presentation is made by video projector, on the basis of a slide show whose format is left to the choice of the candidates. Candidates are not allowed more slides than those related to their oral presentation (i.e. no appendices or additional slides for questions). They will also not be allowed to go backwards in the slide show.

The presentation file must be sent in pdf format only, titled as follows and without emphasis: Name_FirstName_Presentation_CompetitionE2M2_2024.pdf.

NB: the file cannot be modified after sending, even on the day of the audition.

Communication with doctoral students

Because of the short delays between the end of the exams of some courses and the eligibility jury, as well as between the eligibility and admission juries, the communication concerning the doctoral contract procedure will be exclusively electronic on ADUM.
