GIANT Orientation day

The 2nd edition of the GIANT Orientation Day will take place on 26 November 2019, in multiple venues on the GIANT campus.

Why should you attend?

The GIANT Orientation Day is a federative event intended for PhD students from all institutes and companies on the GIANT campus to meet and network. It is also the opportunity to know more about what kind of research and activities happen in local labs and companies.

Put simply, this is the perfect place to start building your local network!

We are preparing a programme including icebreakers in the form of serious games, a fun contest, and several visits in labs, platforms and companies on the campus.

Please note that a copy of your passport or ID is required in advance to access most of the sites (details below).
