PhD

4th ENEn phd event 2010 in Barcelona, 2 June 2010

In the framework of the European Nuclear Conference 2010, the 4th ENEN PhD Event will be held in Barcelona, Spain, 2 June 2010. Its objectives are:

• to provide a forum for PhD students to present their research work to their fellows and colleagues in a friendly but competitive spirit
• to promote the research work of PhD students in the nuclear filed
• to set up a bridge between PhD students and professionals in the nuclear field

The Event will consist of 8 PhD presentations nominated by ENEN Members and selected by the ENEN PhD Event Jury.

The Event will be divided into 2 sessions according to the subject.

The participants will make a presentation for their research work for 15-20 minutes followed by 5-10 minutes questions and discussion.

All presentations will be judged by the Jury members on the submitted paper as well as on the quality of their presentation and on the clarity in the discussion while answering the questions and discussions.

Two best presentations will be given the ENEN Prize. A ceremony will be held at the end of the Event.
