Interdisciplinary conferences, cycle "Science for Dummies"

Since 2015, PDI fellows are given the opportunity to create their own conference or workshop or to participate at their organization. Ideally, four fellow students join forces with the PDI management team to set up this event. The theme and the choice of speakers must be approved by the management team. Financial support can be provided by Unistra.

It is of particular value to the PDI programme to create events on cross disciplinary subjects to foster new ideas from different fields.

The creation of or the participation at organizing such an event will provide you with the following benefits :

1. Number formation hours (Ex. 8 hours for the conference "Ethics and medicaments")
2. Certificate signed by Unistra administration stipulating your activity in the organization of the event
3. A bonus point for the application to the bridge scholarship

To help you to in the organization, we created a document that contains important information on key steps to follow. It is possible to download it here.
