Course content: This module allows students to experience and be involved in ongoing research projects inside of teams of IP Paris. It is the students responsibility to contact a researcher in their field of interest beforehand and ask about the possibility and scope of such a project before enrolling in this module! If both agree on a project, the student can enroll in the module and will be provided a grade at the end of the second period.
The goal of the project is to involve students that are interested in research in ongoing research projects of the individual team. This can be in the form of an individual research project of the student in collaboration with a supervisor, or involving the student as part of a contributor inside an already going research project. The ideal goal should be to create or contribute to a scientific publication. However, the type of deliverables at the end of the project (e.g., source code, documentation, data set) will be defined with the supervisor of the project beforehand and can vary from research project and team.
The course ends with a presentation of the students contribution to the research project inside of the individual team (either as part of a research meeting or as a dedicated event). The supervisor of the project is in charge of evaluating the quality of the outcome and providing a grade and its justification to the student in form of a short paragraph, describing the quality of the work and potential fields of improvement for the future.

Note: It is the students responsibility to contact a researcher in their field of interest beforehand and ask about the possibility and scope of such a project before enrolling in this module !
