Research project (2026/2027)
During the master, a student will learn research by doing research. During the two years of the master, a student will thus spend between one or two days each week in a research group in order to do research projects with professors and PhD students of IP Paris.
You can find previous years' projects here: 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020
Research project schedule
| When | Where | What |
|---|---|---|
| 09/10/2026 at 10h00 | Telecom Paris, (room: 1A312) and online | Presentation of project proposals |
| 10/10/2026 | Project starts | |
| March 2027 | Report and final presentation for M2 students, mid-term presentation for M1 students | |
| June 2027 | TBD | Report and final evaluation for M1 students |
Project Evaluation
Research projects will be evaluated on a research report, and a presentation. The project defense is a 30 minutes presentation of the research work followed by 10-15 minutes of questions. The presentation has to explain the work context and problematics, and describe the contribution of the conducted research project.
The report is a expected to be a 5 to 8 pages research paper formatted using the ACM conference style. The report should present the context of the work, its contribution, a positioning with respect to related works. Both M1 and M2 students are expected to send their research report to their supervisors.
