The "My thesis in 180 seconds" competition is organized by CPU (Conférence des Présidents d’Université) and CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique). Doctoral students can tell their research subject, with simple words, to large and diverse laypersons. Every competitor should, within 180 seconds, sum up clearly and convincingly their dissertation subject. All higher education institutions in France are invited to organize an in-house competition.
This year, Université PSL takes part in the competition. Two winners will be selected to represent PSL in the national semi-final!
