Doctoral school n°265

The doctoral school's mission is to:

• ensure that the student submits an innovative and feasible research topic, under the direction of a teacher qualified to direct research and competent in the chosen subject, when registering for a thesis;
• allocate the doctoral contracts it has available to candidates each year;
• ensure that doctoral students' research projects are in line with the host unit's research axes, as part of a multi-disciplinary approach, well-informed of the state of the scientific field under study;
• supervise their work (annual registration and re-registration procedures; periodic review of progress and quality of work; organization of thesis mid-term; establishment of defense juries);
• foster scientific exchanges between doctoral students and between doctoral students and teacher-researchers, notably through doctoral days, notably within the framework of the Sorbonne Paris Cité University,
• encourage the establishment of co-directions and cotutelles and encourage doctoral students to multiply opportunities for external and more broadly European and international contacts;
• provide doctoral students with training useful to their research and professional projects;
• help PhD students finance the field missions their research requires, and speak at scientific meetings to present the progress and results of their work;
• accompany doctoral students in the preparation of their subsequent career path.

École doctorale n°265 Langues, littératures et sociétés du monde is headed by a Director, assisted by an Executive Committee and an Advisory Board comprising research unit directors, two staff representatives, doctoral students' representatives, and external personalities (scientists and representatives of the socio-economic world). Major decisions are taken by the Council, while day-to-day management and preparatory work for Council decisions is carried out by the Bureau.
