From La Salle-URL we want to provide visibility to the research work carried out on Campus, and contribute to the dissemination of knowledge among our students and educational community.
Present your Thesis in 4 minutes (PhD)
Explain your thesis in 4 minutes is a contest organized by the Fundació Catalana de la Recerca i la Innovació (FCRi), with the support of the Generalitat de Catalunya, which aims to promote the dissemination of research, encouraging the return of science to society.
The competition is aimed at doctoral students of La Salle - Ramon Llull University who are in, at least, the second year of their doctoral studies and who have not defended their thesis before the end of the period for submission of applications to the competition.
