Research project (2025/2026)
During the master, a student will learn research by doing research. During the two years of the master, a student will thus spend between one or two days each week in a research group in order to do research projects with professors and PhD students of IP Paris.

Research project schedule
| When | Where | What |
|---|---|---|
| 19/09/2025 at 10h00 | Telecom Paris, (room: 1A312) and online | Presentation of project proposals |
| 29/09/2025 | Project starts | |
| 6/03/2026 and 9/3/2026 | 1A318 and 1C39 | Report and final presentation for M2 students, mid-term presentation for M1 students |
| 26/06/2026 | TBD | Report and final evaluation for M1 students |
Project Evaluation
Research projects will be evaluated on a research report, and a presentation. The project defense is a 30 minutes presentation of the research work followed by 10-15 minutes of questions. The presentation has to explain the work context and problematics, and describe the contribution of the conducted research project.
The report is a expected to be a 5 to 8 pages research paper formatted using the ACM conference style. The report should present the context of the work, its contribution, a positioning with respect to related works. Both M1 and M2 students are expected to send their research report to their supervisors.
Project defense schedule
The project defense will take place Palaiseau or online at this address. Attending the other students presentation is not mandatory, but it would be appreciated.
