Research and thesis

Research work represents the very essence of the doctorate.

W

ell supervised by their thesis committee, the main mission of the doctoral student consists in the success of their doctoral project within the given deadlines. Creating the dynamics needed to control temporal, material, financial and human resources is essential to the success of their project.

Funding for doctoral research is discussed and planned with the sponsor from the start.

For at least three years, the PhD student carries out their research accompanied by their sponsor and thesis committee along with regular meetings, quite often beyond the borders. As the work progresses, results become clearer and certain choices are made. The initial research project is then reviewed, corrected, reoriented.

In addition, the doctoral student is expected to communicate his or her research work, orally and in writing, to an international audience as well as to the general public.

Communicating and disseminating one's research is one of the fundamental missions of the researcher.

A whole part of doctoral training is devoted to this scientific production and effective communication.
