Module code UE 964: Transverse project (68h = 20h lectures/ 8H tutorials/ 40h practicals) – 5 ECTS

Module coordinator: Pr. Anne-Sophie Bonnet (anne-sophie.bonnet@univ-lorraine.fr)

Description:

The aim of this project is to give the students the opportunity to apply the knowledge developed during the semester to a real clinical issue. The module is composed of three CE. The first one is dedicated to the project itself. The second one will show them how to present scientific concepts and to communicate their work to the scientific community. Seminars and conferences by external researchers, clinicians and/or members of biomedical companies will be provided in the third EC.

EC1: Project (40h lab)

EC2: Scientific communication in English, paper writing, collaboration, lecturing (20h lectures)

EC3: Seminars and conferences (8h tutorials)

Pre-requisites:
