MeccPhD Colloquia Doctoralia 2015

MeccPhD COLLOQUIA DOCTORALIA 2015
16- 23 January
MeccPhD Colloquia Doctoralia 2015
January Session
Within the Department of Mechanical Engineering,
Doctoral Final Defenses comprise two major
phases:
Technical Discussion: all Candidates present
their PhD thesis to selected Opponents
(internationally recognized experts in the field).
During the discussion, Candidates outline the
technical contributions of the thesis and answer
the Opponent's questions.
The second step consists in the Final Defense
session. Doctoral Candidates briefly present their
work to the Examination Board, disclosing the
wider significance of the research. All sessions end
with a public proclamation of Candidates' final
grades.
Our 2015 MeccPhD Colloquia Doctoralia will be
organized in two different sessions; the second one
will take place in March 2015.
