La Parenthèse
The association's activities and objectives

The missions of La ParenThèse, a non-profit association under the law of 1901, are :
- combat student drop-out and loneliness when writing scientific papers (master's theses, doctoral dissertations);
- accelerate their graduation;
- foster their employability, notably by creating an interdisciplinary socio-professional network during the writing activity.
To achieve this, team members organize 3 types of event, bringing together between 10 and 15 student participants (face-to-face) and around 40 students (online).
These events are linked to a scientific production process:
- writing events (writing days, writing stays and mini-ParenThèses);
- mutual support and exchange events (Plume Doc workshops, Master Classes);
- disconnection events (AfterThèse wilderness days).
