École normale supérieure de Lyon

From the room known as the "Café des sports", one of the virtual videoconferencing rooms of the biology department accessible from the Study portal, François Roudier, Director of the department and Nathalie Alazard, Assistant Director, tell us about almost 4 weeks of intense remote work. Four weeks, three phases, a first assessment and a constant optimism despite the complexity of an ever-changing situation.

Since access to the ENS de Lyon campuses has been suspended (as of Monday, March 16 and until further notice), all staff -except those authorized to enter the buildings as part of the PCA - are either teleworking or on special leave of absence, including in the research laboratories.

"Studies and Research at ENS de Lyon: what will you remember about your time spent with us?"

At the end of August this year, ENS de Lyon organized an integration week to welcome students from around the world, as part of its policy of increased international attractiveness.

The challenge: Students have to make their thesis topic easily understandable in clear, concise and convincing French or English – and with the help of only one slide! Participants are filmed under competition conditions, and a multidisciplinary jury chooses finalists based on the videos, rating each participant’s performance according to the criteria in the official rules
