> Foreword
The Congrès des Doctorant.e.s Déconfiné.e.s, or CD3 will take place on Thursday, 1st July at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP) Cuvier building. It is a project initiated by PhD students to set up a shorter and more informal version of the usual Congrès des Doctorant.e.s. It will overcome the fact that the two last editions were cancelled because of the Covid sanitary crisis.
The CD3 is a great opportunity for students to meet, exchange and expose their work in order to bring together the doctoral community again. If sanitary conditions allow it, a closure party organized by the doctoral association Hekla will follow the poster sessions. This party aims to promote discussion between students and researchers in a more informal setting.
This year, the absence of seminars, workshops and international conferences proved their importance for adequate conditions of the development of candidates PhD thesis. These events are the opportunity to highlight our research work and to interact with our community, an essential exercise to stimulate scientific reflection. This is why the Congrès des Doctorant.e.s Déconfiné.e.s encourages students to present their work and meet their fellow PhD students.
For this special edition, the CD3 will take place on a full day and will only gather volunteer PhD students posters. Sessions will intentionally be random (without any thematic) to emphasize the thesis diversity of the Doctoral School and to encourage the connection between students of different laboratories.
Dear doctorant students, please come and join us!
> General information about the congress
Because of the sanitary restrictions, the closure party will take place outside of the IPGP. We are currently organizing it, be sure that we will keep you informed! The curfew is over and masks are no longer needed outside, so you will be able to actually discover faces of the people you’ve been hanging out with since last year. How exciting! We are waiting for you any time of the day! Sandwiches will be provided around lunch, for those who registered, as well as good coffee and croissants for all.
The event is open to anyone! Even if you are not registered, you’re welcome to come and admire the astonishing posters of your fellow PhD students.
If you registered to present a poster, you should have received your session information by email.
If you did not yet RSVP: click on this link and fill the registration form to help us anticipate the amount of food and drinks needed (people who are registered will get priority access to the food and drinks offered by Hekla).

How to make a poster
Your poster must be in english.
The poster format is A0 (1189 x 840mm).
We encourage you to check out the “Better Poster” format, to rapidly make an engaging and efficient poster. It really improves the quality of the conversations you will have at your poster, and drastically lowers the amount of work to make the poster, compared to a classic poster format. Check out those videos that explain in more details why it’s better, and how to make it: tutorial video (watch one, watch this one), introductory video, templates.
To select what is going to appear in your poster, you can follow the tips of Isabelle Grenier, try to answer these questions:
What is your research topic? What must the audience know? What were you hoping to find out and why? Which route did you take? What have you found? Why is it important?

How to present my poster
Once your poster is all done and printed, bring it at the beginning of your session to pin it up on a board. Present your work like a reporter with TAKE HOME messages, as if you were “selling” your work, and the most important: just have fun sharing your work!

How to print my poster
Here’s some general tips…
If using Adobe Illustrator, vectorize all text (select all, Text Menu → Vectorize) before saving in PDF format.
If the file size is above 75 Mo,you can reduce the size with no quality penalty with Acrobat Professionnel (Documents → Reduce file size).
Be careful about the font sizes: text under 18 pts will not be readable.
Posters must be printed in your own laboratory. Each lab has its specificities:
- for APC — On the website: https://supportapc.in2p3.fr/: Open a ticket in the type “User support (informatique)” in the category “poster”. In the ticket one should put the PDF file to print.
- for LPNHE — Reprographie de Jussieu, near Esclangon next to the post service. Contact: Yves MATHIEU, 4 place Jussieu | 75252 Paris cedex 05, 01 44 27 72 13 |yves.mathieu@sorbonne-universite.fr
- for IPGP — The file must be a PDF file, and A0 format. Two printers (linked to computers) are available in the reprography room (room 2200). Precise information is available there.
