The Chair pedagogical program happens during T2 (Jan 6th 2025 to March 31th 2025). It is your responsibility to verify that the Chair's mandatory requirements are compatible with your agenda and obligations of your program (courses, apprenticeship, specific trips, etc). 

The seminar in January is mandatory: if you are not available during the first week of January in T2, we recommend you apply to the Chair the following year.

Mandatory courses

• Chair Seminar "Digital Disruption" in January (from 6th to 10th 2025 at ESSEC CNIT campus or in Paris). (IDSI31433)

• Chair Seminar "Digital Disruption Challenge" (T2) in Cergy. (IDSI31437)

• Digital Humanism (T2) in Cergy. (IDSI31345)

Group project

• A tutored group research project in T2. 

• The subject will be provided to you by the Chair. 

• The workload is about 1 full day of work per week over one term, so 80 to 100h total per student. It will be your responsibility to agree on meeting times with your group peers and tutors. It is mandatory to be certified by the Chair.

Chair Completion Requirements 

• The Chair can be validated in one term (at the end of T2). 

• For multiple reasons, it is highly advised that you achieve all academic requirements in the same year: to create a Chair spirit and camaraderie and because of logistical reasons for the research mission. 

• Note that to be certified by the Chair, you must achieve all the official requirements listed for the year you were enrolled in. You cannot pick requirements from other years.

• For previous classes, check the requirements from your year at the bottom of this page.

UV Synthesis
