All 12 ESRs have successfully presented and defended their PhD thesis proposals on the 6th and 7th of September 2021.

The thesis proposal presentations in front of the juries from all 4 universities marked the end of their first study year and were also the first part of the upcoming 3rd Network Wide event. As part of the presentation, the ESRs had to prepare a detailed state of the art review on their project topic, an outline of their planned research methodology, expected results and a timeline of activities. We look forward to seeing whether they will confirm or reject their hypotheses by the end of their studies!
