The event took place this year In Nancy, from June 16th to 18th. We were 19 PhD students and 16 faculties.
All the individual workshops went well and all the PhD students left with new ideas for their research work.
These working sessions were accompanied by very interesting conferences with the participation of Ferran Giones “Building and writing a research contribution, tips and templates “, Kirsten Martin “ Algorithmic Bias and Corporate Responsibility “, Laurent Rollet “Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) : Mathematician, physicist, philosopher, etc.” and Cyrille Imbert “ Computing Good Pseudo-Random Numbers: a Social and Psychological Problem“. These presentations have allowed to have very enriching exchanges.
In order to obtain a family and friendly atmosphere, social moments also took place Bowling:
