In June, CADOS is offering a workshop on Research Design with Idea Puzzle to all UCP doctoral students. As part of this initiative, we invite students who are taking the training to submit their design before the 30th of June, 2021 to the Idea Puzzle annual prize. The prize offers 1000 euros for the best doctoral research design created with the Idea Puzzle software in a licensed university.
