The funding from French institutions can not be lower than the French nationally defined amount for doctoral candidates (monthly net amount about 1422 €). In cases where the funding is lower than this amount, the research group is required to find additional funding to reach the required limit.

Before the student’s application, the PhD proposal has to be uploaded on the proposal submission pages by the advisor.

    7. If you have your own funding (other than ED’s CD), the financing plan and supporting documents for your envisioned source of funding. Provide the following documents in digital format (as PDF files) that must be uploaded on to the website by using the personal link provided in the acknowledgement email.
  3. The (not mandatory) reference letters and confidential assessments must be sent by their authors via e-mail to clickme
