The prizes 2021 were awarded to seven doctors of HEC Lausanne during the Annual Doctoral Event. This event - organised by the doctoral school of HEC Lausanne in partnership with the PhDnet doctoral association - was introduced by a few words from Vice-Dean Rafael Lalive, followed by a speech by a recent PhD graduate, Matthieu Légeret.
The event, whose 2020 edition could not take place, was also an opportunity to congratulate the six doctoral prize awardees of 2020.
The various prizes reward their theses for their scientific contribution and the innovative nature of their areas of research.
