Dear Ph.D. students:
"Doctoral Day” will take place on 25th June. 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. The committee of the program would like to remind you that
• attending this activity once a 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 the last trimester of 2020, to be announced in due
course. If you decide to participate in the June edition of the Doctoral Days, you have to
choose between being a speaker, which implies giving a presentation, and being an
attendee. For being a speaker, you have to send the following information to prados@us.es:
• your name,
• title of the presentation,
• a short abstract (50-100 words),
by 11th June. 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).
The schedule of the event is planned as follows:
1. Morning session (11:00-14:00):
a) (10:00-11:00) The meeting will start with a lecture by Prof. Ángel
Rodríguez Vázquez (Department of Electronics and Electromagnetism of
the University of Seville).
b) (11:00-14:00) 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 announcement 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.
