Campaign Organisation
- A call for doctoral research projects is launched among researchers and lecturers at the ASU.
- The doctoral research projects, first validated by the doctoral schools, are then submitted to a committee chaired by the Director of the Institute.
- The projects preselected by this committee are published on the Sorbonne Université website (doctoral section) and on the doctoral schools’ websites.
- Students send their applications to the project leaders, who will be in charge to select one student for her/his project. Students will then be auditioned by the committee.
- Selected candidates will be awarded a doctoral contract after the interview.
