Forum des Jeunes Chercheurs 2026

Welcome to the website of the 31st edition of the Forum des Jeunes Chercheurs (FJC) 2026!

This annual scientific event aims to provide PhD candidates from the Doctoral School “Environnements-Santé” bringing together Université Bourgogne Europe and Université Marie et Louis Pasteur, with the opportunity to share their research, exchange ideas on their scientific topics and cultivate meaningful interdisciplinary collaborations.

Each year, the Forum des Jeunes Chercheurs gathers nearly 300 PhD candidates from laboratories across Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. The event is organized by volunteer PhD students and alternates between the two main university campuses: Dijon and Besançon.

The 2026 edition will take place in Dijon on Thursday 4 and Friday 5 June 2026. Over the course of these two days, FJC 2026 will feature PhD student presentations in the form of oral communications and poster sessions, with keynote lectures and round-table discussions led by invited researchers. Prizes will be awarded to the most outstanding presentations and posters.

The topics covered are broad and multidisciplinary, including general ecology, evolution, geology, climatology, behavioral sciences, agroecology, food sciences, as well as all disciplines related to human health and nutrition.
