COMPLEX SYSTEMS PhD AWARD

Since 2017, the Institut des Systèmes Complexes de Paris IdF and its partners have been awarding an annual thesis prize, with the aim of highlighting research in the field of complex systems and to distinguish the work of particularly promising young researchers.

The ISC-PIF is launching its 6th call for entries for the Complex Systems Thesis Award 2022 for PhD students from all disciplines working on complex systems.

At the end of the call for entries, candidates will be selected to present their thesis before an interdisciplinary jury composed of renowned personalities in the field, who will award three prizes of €1000. This audition day will take place at the ISC-PIF (Paris) on October 21, 2022 from 9am to 1pm.

The auditions will take place at Totem (11 place Nationale, 75013, Paris), as well as online (Meeting ID: 988 7639 1866, Passcode: 5cTP8q).
