B2I project management

Scientific activities are increasingly structured around projects organized around specific objectives with a limited time frame for completion. Designing and presenting a project has therefore become an essential skill both in the recruitment process and in professional activity. The objective of this course unit is to introduce students to the design and presentation of a scientific project by writing a proposal for funding for a three-year project. This project may be fictitious or directly related to the student's career goals after completing their master's degree. The work carried out should 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 plan for the necessary human and financial resources. The proposal will be subject to individualized feedback, which will allow each student to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their proposal.

The project design and writing work will help you acquire three essential skills:

1) establish the state of the art of knowledge on a scientific issue,

2) problematize and develop a method to answer a research question, and

3) know how to write a structured, concise, and effectively illustrated report.
