Forensic Science and Criminology
The ESC doctoral program brings together PhD students of the School of Criminal Justice (Ecole des Sciences Criminelles - ESC, University of Lausanne) as well as any PhD students from a university delivering a PhD in forensic science or criminology. The aim of the programme is to allow PhD students to develop their network as well as cross-disciplinary skills to successfully conduct their research and prepare them for their professional career. This objective is achieved by offering specialized workshops and activities in the frame of a summer school. The proposed activities promote the active participation of the PhD students, for example by allowing them to present their work through lectures or poster sessions. Professors from the École des Sciences Criminelles as well as a few invited foreign speakers will be present at the Summer School to engage with doctoral students and give feedback.
