Doctoral school n°265

Mission of the doctoral school

• 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 available to it to candidates each year;
• ensure that doctoral students' research projects are in line with the host unit's research priorities, as part of a multidisciplinary approach that is well-informed about 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 the mid-term of theses, setting up of defense juries) ;
• foster scientific exchanges between doctoral students and between doctoral students and teacher-researchers, in particular through doctoral days, notably within the framework of Université Sorbonne Paris Cité,
• 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 the training they need to develop their research and professional projects;
• help doctoral students finance the field missions their research requires, and take part in scientific meetings to present the progress and results of their work;
• accompany doctoral students in preparing their subsequent career path.

The doctoral school n°265 Languages, literatures and societies of the world is headed by a director assisted by an office and a board bringing together research unit directors, two staff representatives, doctoral student representatives, and external personalities (scientists and representatives of the socio-economic world).

The other half is made up of doctoral students belonging to the doctoral school, elected by their peers; it is completed by members from outside the doctoral school, chosen in equal parts from among competent French and foreign personalities, in the scientific fields on the one hand, and in the relevant industrial and socio-economic sectors on the other.
