QuanTIM webinar’s PhD student award recognizes outstanding achievements in the field of quantitative or qualitative methodological research in public health. This award has been created in order to promote and encourage young scientists at the very beginning of their career.

The award winner will receive 1 500 € to finance registration and/or travel to a scientific conference or to carry out a research stay in one of the SESSTIM’s teams. In addition, the award winner will be granted the last pannelist's spot of this season's QuanTIM Webinars during which she/he will present the winning work. Like any QuanTIM Webinars, the talk will be recorded and published on our social networks, website and Youtube channel. 

The PhD student award is open to students who have yet to finish their PhD but whose researches are advanced enough to be presented. Graduated students can also apply as long as they have graduated for less than 12 months.

You can create a new account or use your CCSD IDs (HAL, Scienceconf, Episciences) to log in.
