Congratulations to Juliette DIREUR, a doctoral student at the IMRB under the supervision of Valérie URBACH (GEIC20 team), who won the prize for the best presentation of her thesis in 180 seconds, at the training course organised by the Aurora European University, in Innsbruck (Austria), from 20 to 25 October 2024, on the theme of ‘Sustainability and climate change’.

Under the aegis of the European universities in the Aurora Alliance, the University of Innsbruck has organised a unique double Erasmus BIP (Blended Intensive Programme) from 20 to 25 October 2024. More than 40 teachers, scientists and administrative staff from Palacký University, the University of Innsbruck, the University of Duisburg-Essen, the Université Paris-Est Créteil, the University of Iceland and, finally, the Universitat Rovira i Virgili combined the two areas of the project.

The highlight of the week was the competition on Friday, during which the international jury assessed the already remarkable performances of all the finalists. The assessment was no easy task, as all the participants showed enormous courage in performing in front of a multidisciplinary audience eagerly awaiting their presentations. In the end, the jury selected three winners, including Juliette DIREUR, a doctoral student in the GEIC₂O team, for her thesis entitled ‘The dangers of breathing’.
