Description
Scientific activities are increasingly structured around specific, time-bound objectives. Designing and presenting a project has therefore become an essential skill, both in the recruitment process and in the workplace. The aim of this course is to learn how to design and present a scientific project by writing a proposal corresponding to a request for funding for a 3-year project. The project may be fictitious or directly related to the student's objective at the end of the Master's program. The work carried out should make it possible to present the scientific interest and originality of the project in relation to the state of the art, the methodology to be implemented, the provisional timetable and a rational planning of the human and financial resources required. The proposal will receive individual feedback, enabling each student to identify the strengths and weaknesses of his or her proposal.
Objectives
Project design and drafting will contribute to the acquisition of three essential skills:
1) establish the state of the art of knowledge around a scientific question,
2) problematize and construct a method to answer a research question, and
3) know how to write a structured, concise and effectively illustrated report.
