SYRA is delighted to invite you to the Journées Des Doctorants 2026 (JDD2026). Once again, we are pleased to present the work of our secondyear PhD students, and to welcome the IMN newcomers. Last year, a photo contest took place outside the main IMN building (Lombarderie site) during the JDD2025. Students and employees of Nantes University were invited to discover this exhibition, which aims to open a window on the expertise in materials science developed at the IMN. This year, to open up this window even further, a treasure hunt has been organized: scientific riddles linked to IMN’s thematic research are spread across the Lombarderie site. Six panels, one correct answer at each step and multiple prizes at the end! The JDD2026 is also an opportunity to improve speaking skills, essential for future conferences, in a more informal setting. We sincerely hope this event will foster connection between different generations of doctoral students and their research teams, and encourage them to share their experiences.
