 # Template for EPL's UCLouvain Ph.D. Theses
 
 This repository contains a template to write your thesis with the CIACO's requirements.
-Just look at thesis.tex and start writing :-)
+Just look at either thesis_a4.tex or thesis_elec.tex and start writing :-)
 
 NB: For the bibliography, use Biber instead of BibTex.
 
+## Thesis format
+
+Two main files are proposed: either writing on A4 format (thesis_a4.tex) or on the CIACO specific one (thesis_elec.tex).
+Both formats should work for the CIACO, but make sure you mention the format you use when sending your PDF for printing!
+
 ## Continuous Integration with GitHub
 
 If you use GitHub to host your repository, you can leverage the GitHub Actions to auto-generate the thesis PDF.
 For this, you have a few environment variables to configure this workflow:
 
 | env variable | purpose |
 |---|---|
-| **MAIN_LATEX** | The entry point of your thesis (here it is thesis.tex) |
+| **MAIN_LATEX** | The entry point of your thesis (here it is thesis_elec.tex) |
 | **FINAL_FILENAME** | The final name of the file, which follows the naming conventions of the UCLouvain (for example : Yakoub_13861700_2020.pdf ) |
 | **DATE_TIMEZONE** | The timezone for release (by default, Github uses GMT timezone) |
