To get your doctoral program off to a good start and to understand your university environment, come and discover all the actions and services offered by the College, the Doctoral Schools, the University (training, culture, promotion and career, health...) and its partners.Where?
At the Maison du doctorat Jean Kuntzmann at 110 rue de la Chimie 38400 Saint-Martin-d'HèresWhen?
December 14, 2023 on a half day depending on your Doctoral School
If the start of the Doctoral School SG and PHILO are organized at another time of the year, we are looking forward to seeing you in the enigma game to meet the different departments!
During this day, you will be welcomed by your Doctoral School. You will navigate between different poles (regrouping the numerous university structures) which will guide you during your course. Registration/diplomation, BU, training, career development, but also practical life, sports, culture, social support, health, international, will no longer have any secrets for you. This day will give you the keys to make the most of your PhD and our campuses.
You are above all researchers and in order to make this day unforgettable, we have asked Prizoners, a company specialized in escape games, to offer you a game of fun enigmas all along your journey.
How will the trip be expressed? We don't tell you everything, but the PhD is international, we have a sense of welcome, we promise you to meet people, to have your eyes, ears and even taste buds filled, to leave with gifts and souvenirs.
Depending on your arrival time and therefore on your affiliation to your Doctoral School (see above), you will alternately and in a variable order:
« When you wake up, a strange feeling of lightness comes over you. You have just entered a ChronoDoc, without even having been prepared for it.
A strange and still little explained phenomenon, where PhD students see their time passing at a different speed from their environment.
You soon realize that you will have to put an end to this state or let your consciousness drift forever in this temporal anomaly.
A hunch tells you that the solution lies in the "Maison du doctorat", which you must visit.
On the spot, you join forces with other PhD students' consciousnesses in a similar state to elucidate this enigma.
But suddenly, the ChronoDoc is disrupted and your consciousnesses are projected into various places in the "Maison du doctorat".
What mystery lies behind each place? This strange journey, seems to give you the keys of exit of this trip.
Go to the end of this unique day, collect all the information to find the secret of returning to your state of consciousness and take back your PhD, armed with the precious answers discovered during this journey! »
