Specific objectives stated by the academic staff for academic year 2017-18

The objective is to make students to highlight the most important results in a given paper, to offer a critical view of the results, to be able to transmit the main insights of the paper to an audience not familiar with the topic and to convince the experts in the topic that he/she controls the technical details of the paper and can contribute with a new research agenda. 

Students should be able to present the paper in different formats: In a 20-25 minuts presentation, which is what speakers usually have in a conference; in 1h to 1h:30, which is the time that they will have in a job market presentation or in an invited seminar; in 10 minuts which is the time that a job market candiate will have in an interview.
