Done! Daria successfully defended her PhD thesis!

And that in front of an incredible jury who are the absolute top on this topic: @annaborghi.bsky.social , @pennypexman.bsky.social , @gabriellavigliocco.bsky.social

So proud of her!

bravo of course also to Jo Ziegler and Núria Gala!

✨ Building bridges between our MaSCo students!

Last night, M1 and M2 students came together for an evening of exchange and connection. Great discussions, shared experiences, and a chance to strengthen solidarity across promotions.
