Reflecting on the Graduate Programme Certificate Ceremony 🎓
On September 24th, 2024, students, faculty, and recent graduates gathered at Polytech Lille, Cité Scientifique Campus for a memorable day marking both the start of a new academic year and a celebration of achievement within the Graduate Programme Science for a Changing Planet.
The event featured an inspiring mix of scientific talks on cutting-edge research topics, poster sessions showcasing innovative student work, and an exciting roundtable discussion titled "Debunking the PhD." Led by PhD volunteers, the roundtable offered attendees an honest, behind-the-scenes perspective on the doctoral journey, sparking meaningful conversations among all participants.
Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, our recent graduates joined us to receive their certificates, a highlight of the day that was marked by a spirit of pride and accomplishment. 🎓 A lively photo booth and a closing cocktail provided students and faculty alike with the opportunity to capture memories, network, and share ideas in a relaxed setting.
This event not only welcomed our newest students but also celebrated the achievements of our graduates, fostering a community dedicated to impactful environmental research.
We thank all participants for their enthusiasm and look forward to another year of exploration and discovery!
