Winners of the 2022 Thesis Prize
Université Grenoble Alpes has honored ten PhDs graduating in 2021 whose thesis work was judged to be of exceptional quality. Eight academic thesis prizes, including one interdisciplinary prize, and two innovation thesis prizes were awarded on May 16 and 17. The awards will be presented at the "PhD Ceremony" on June 23, 2022.
The thirteen Université Grenoble Alpes doctoral schools previously selected the candidates and the juries had the difficult task of choosing between them, as the applications were of very high quality.
The juries for the Innovation Thesis Prize and the Academic Thesis Prize were held on May 16 and 17, respectively, and the prizes will be officially awarded at the " PhD Ceremony " on June 23, 2022, starting at 5 pm.

Recognizing the scientific excellence of our PhD Students

The Université Grenoble Alpes has honored ten PhD students who graduated in 2021 and whose thesis work was judged to be of exceptional quality. These awards recognize the excellence of the research carried out by these young scientists in their respective laboratories.

The prizes are divided into 2 categories:
  • the Academic Thesis Prize, awarded to seven people based on criteria of excellence specific to each disciplinary field and represented by the 13 doctoral schools on the site and research departments. This year an eighth thesis prize is awarded for interdisciplinary research work covering at least two significantly different doctoral specialties;
  •  The two innovation thesis prizes are awarded to a work of exceptional quality that also includes an approach (special prize) or a project of valorization and transfer.
