On Thursday 9 February 2023, the LIVES Centre held the 12th edition of its Doctoriales: a research day entirely dedicated to the thesis work of doctoral students. They presented the current state of their research and submitted it to the criticism of experts. Prior to these presentations, Prof. Xavier Thierry held a public lecture about the first French national longitudinal study, ELFE.
This is a valuable opportunity for young researchers to receive feedback from more experienced colleagues who share a perspective often from another discipline. It is also an opportunity to get an overview of the thesis work carried out within the LIVES Centre.
