Dear Ph.D. students:

"Doctoral Day” will take place on 11th December. Due to the situation brought about by
the Covid-19 pandemic, this edition of the Doctoral Day will be held on the online
platform of the University of Seville (ev.us.es). The committee of the program would like
to remind you that

  • attending this activity once every academic year
  • delivering two presentations during the whole doctoral period

is mandatory within the doctorate programme "Ciencias y Tecnologías Físicas" (CyTF).
There will be another Doctoral Day in June 2021, to be announced in due course. For
participating in the December edition of the Doctoral Days, you have to choose between
being a speaker, which implies giving a presentation, and being an attendee. Speakers
have to send me the following information:

  • title of the presentation
  • a short abstract (50-100 words)

by the end of November. Depending on the stage of your PhD work, you may present the
nature of your research project and/or the results obtained until now to the audience,
mostly your mates in the PhD programme. Presentations will last 15 minutes plus 5
additional minutes for questions. Attendees, in addition to being present and actively
participating in the presentations, are strongly recommended to prepare one slide in
which a very succinct account of the development of their work is given. They would have
to explain this slide in a flash talk (2’ presentation+1’ questions), whose title has to be sent
to me also by the end of November.

The schedule of the event is planned as follows:
1. Morning session (09:00-13:00):
a. (09:00-10:00) Lecture by Prof. Emmanuel Trizac (LPTMS, Université Paris-Saclay).
b. (10:00-13:00) Presentations by the PhD students, followed by flash talks.

2. Afternoon session (15:00-18:00):
a. (15:00-18:00) Presentations by the PhD students, followed by flash talks.

The final timetable of the students’ presentations and flash talks—both of them must be
in English—will be given as soon as possible. The number of long presentations (15’+5’)
will be limited to 15. If there are more than 15 students applying for speaker, preference
will be given to those in their last year of the program who do not have the two compulsory
presentations.

Please, pay attention to the instructions in this mail in order to facilitate the organisation
of the meeting. Specific instructions on how to enter the virtual room for the meeting will
be given together with the final schedule.
