The Romanian French Institute and the Central and Eastern Europe Division of the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (Association of Francophone Universities) are hosting the sixth edition of the “Ma thèse en 180 secondes” (My dissertation in 180 seconds) competition.

There must be a maximum of 12 months separating the public defence date and the international final date of the competition in October 2023.
