  • Have an original animated video (value of about $300) in your files about your research project in order to use it in the future (promote a project, portfolio, etc.), free of charge
  • Your name will be mentioned as the author of the text at the end of the video, in its description and in the posts our our social media
  • Your article/dissertation/thesis will be mentioned in the references at the end of the video

This opportunity only concerns CentrEau's members.

Criteria

We ask you to write a short text which summarizes in an easy-to-understand way one or more results of your research project while respecting the following criteria:

  • Your text must be well popularized, because it is aimed at a very large audience. As an exercise, we recommend that you have someone read your text who has no training in the water sector and ask them if they understood correctly.
  • Your text must be split into a minimum of 3 sentences and a maximum of 6 distinct sentences.
  • Your text should be no longer than 1 minute when read aloud at medium to low speed.
  • You must add all the sources consulted to write the text.
  • The topic should be interesting and appeal to a general audience.
  • Your data/results mentioned in your text must be final data, specifically data that will not be modified in the future.
  • You must write your text in both French and English, but we will help you with the translation.
  • The title of your capsule must contain fewer than 50 characters.
  • The text will be revised by our team.
