This session is a collection of short talks where students present a small number of slides about what they are preparing for the Thesis Proposal. The presentation may be structured as follows:
1 - Title of the thesis, name of the candidate
2 - Motivation and research topic (why work on this topic?)
3 - Background (relevant information only)
4 - Research question(s) (what problem(s) will be considered?)
5 - Methodology (how to work towards a solution?)
6 - Expected results (what scientific contributions will be made?)
7 - Significance (why will the expected contributions be important?)
8 - Dissemination strategy (how is the work to be published?)
Up to 12 slides will be enough. Presentations must last no more than 13 minutes. There will be 7 minutes after each presentation for comments/questions.
