The selected topics may change from one year to another, depending on articles recently published in the literature. The course also allows to deepen certain topics that were only superficially approached in previous classes. 
Finally, some themes are chosen for their relevance of being addressed at the end of the student training course (notably because they can benefit from the experience gained during their training course).
