GS MRES : Multidisciplinary Junior Conference

Multiple formats are possible, even if you are not present on the day of the conference! 

The purpose of this conference is to present research activities carried out within the academic programs at Université Paris-Saclay. These activities may include research projects, internships, pre-doctoral research years, and more.

The presentations can cover work completed during the previous academic year or the current one, as well as ongoing or upcoming projects. Therefore, even an undergraduate student who has not completed an internship or research project yet can present the work they plan to undertake during an upcoming internship at the end of the year.

To facilitate the interdisciplinary nature of the conference, the presentations should be understandable by L3 students from any disciplinary field. Therefore, the research question must be presented by contextualizing the subject, while the methodology implemented to address the question raised must be explained in simple terms. Results are not expected in the presentation, which allows participation even if the project has not started yet.

Several types of presentations are possible:

• Short oral presentation (5 min)
• Poster
• Pre-recorded video (5 min)

All you need to do is to send an abstract!

All students are invited to participate by submitting a 20-line abstract describing the project upon which their presentation will be based. The abstract must be submitted in both French and English. A list of keywords (in both languages) should also accompany each abstract.

After providing context for the work (internship, project, laboratory) and describing the thematic area, the abstract must present the research question that led to the research project and the methodology employed to address this question.

To participate :

1. Fill out the participation request form below.
2. Download the Word or LaTeX abstract templates below.
3. Submit your abstract as a single pdf file on the CMT website

Please note that it is necessary to create an account to access the submission website. Once your account has been created, you can add a submission, fill in the required fields, and send. The following tutorial can be followed to create the account and submit the abstract on the CMT (Conference Management Toolkit) website.

The drafting of an abstract must be done in agreement with the project's research supervisor. In particular, it is necessary for the supervisor to approve the list of authors (and their order of appearance in this list) and not to raise any objections regarding intellectual property rights. By submitting an abstract, the author commits to following these instructions.

For individual submissions: the person applying is the one who will give the presentation on the day of the conference. They are mentioned in the participation request form and in the abstract templates under the name "presenting author." However, an individual presentation may stem from research involving multiple individuals, and they should be credited in the abstract under the name "author." However, these individuals should not be listed in the participation request form or on the submission website. Only the presenting author should be listed there.

For group submissions: all individuals who wish to present are considered "presenting authors." Group submissions should be made through a single participation request form (where all presenting authors must be detailed) and a single abstract submission for the entire group. In the abstract, all presenting authors must be mentioned and their names underlined. If other individuals are involved in the work being presented, they should be listed solely in the abstract under the name "author."

For individuals who wish to apply for both an individual project and a group project, separate applications should be made for each. Each application should, of course, be associated with the corresponding abstract submissions.

After having been reviewed by the Selection Committee, the accepted submissions will be presented at the Junior Conference.

For individuals wishing to give an oral presentation, if your application has not been selected after the selection process, the selection committee may offer you the opportunity to give a poster presentation.
