ICST PhD day, june 2023, Palaiseau
The second edition of the STIC doctoral day on the Saclay plateau was organised on June 20, 2023 at AgroParisTech (Amphi, building A). This day is organized jointly by the IP Paris doctoral school of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris and the STIC doctoral school of the University of Paris Saclay. It benefits from the support of the IDIA (Computer Science, Data, Artificial Intelligence) and ICE (Information, Communication, Electronics) departments of IP Paris as well as the Computer Science and Digital Sciences graduate school of the University of Paris Saclay.
This scientific day is aimed at all PhD students in ICST and their supervisors, from the University of Paris-Saclay and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris.Lectures has been given by two invited speakers, Catuscia Palamidessi (LIX, Inria, Institut Polytechnique de Paris) and Benedikt Bollig (LMF, CNRS, Université Paris-Saclay), by the winners of the 2022 Doctoral Prizes of the Plateau de Saclay and by the winners of the PhD thesis prizes 2023 from the IDIA and ICE departments. Posters has been presented by PhD students from the two universities.
