Goals

This week is devoted to:

  • discovering the context and general issues,
  • defining the specific problem each team wishes to tackle,
  • choosing the scientific approach and resources to be used,
  • planning the various stages and sharing tasks,

and may include preparatory experiments.

This week also provides an opportunity to develop and assess skills C2-Design and dimension and C5-Extract and interpret.

Timetable

A presentation by Projet Celsius is scheduled for Monday, November 3, 2025, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for the entire group, to train teams in the life cycle analysis approach. Supervisors are welcome to attend if they wish.

Friday, November 7, in the morning will be devoted to presentations.

Friday, November 7, from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. is reserved for analyzing the individual development of skills “C2-Design and dimension” and “C5-Extract and interpret” in each team.

The rest of the week is to be organized with each team.

Delivrable

A first deliverable is requested at the end of this first week, in the form of an oral team presentation, which aims to :

  • place the proposed experiment in a scientific and industrial context,
  • define the problem to be addressed (and the specific experiment to be carried out),
  • present an approach to address this issue,
  • highlight the technical challenges,
  • present a reasoned choice of three environmental data resources (databases, methods, etc.) that will be used to assess the environmental impact of the prototype produced.
  • list the knowledge and abilities to be acquired by each team member,
  • draw up a schedule, specifying deadlines (particularly for purchases) and a distribution of tasks,
  • present the choices made by the team in terms of organization and documentation (team operating rules, digital platform for document tracking, etc.).

Evaluation grid

To assess the quality of the results obtained at the end of the first week of DEPhI projects, a (self-)evaluation grid is provided. (in French):

Validation

For the first week

Conditions for validation of the EU “7P-192-SCI Experimental Development Project in Ingenious Photonics” (1.5 ECTS)

  • Be present throughout the week at the times agreed with the supervisors at the beginning of the week.
  • contribute to individual projects and/or participate in collective team projects that document the project process (including the end-of-week presentation)
  • participate in your team’s oral presentation,
  • evaluate the presentations of other teams,
  • analyze your progress in C2-Design and dimension and C5-Extract and interpret skills (filling in the grids)

Next steps

Conditions for validation of the EU “8P-164-SCI Experimental Development Project in Ingenious Photonics” (3 ECTS)

  • attend all sessions scheduled in the timetable at the times defined with the supervisors at the beginning of each period,
  • contribute to individual and/or collective team projects that document the project process (including the final poster),
  • participate in the IngénIOGS day,
  • provide, within the deadlines indicated by the supervisory team, an Individual Skills Monitoring Document enabling the assessment of the level achieved in the development of skills C3—Implementing and C7—Working in a team,
