Principles

 

Modalities

Specifically, the monitoring procedure is organized as follows 

(the actual schedule may vary slightly from one institution to another):

Constitution of the individual monitoring committee

During the first six months of their thesis, each doctoral student chooses, in agreement with their supervisors, a mentor (internal to the establishment, external to the host team, non-specialist in the thesis research field) and a tutor (a researcher familiar with the scientific field but not publishing with the supervisors, imperatively external to the laboratory and as far as possible to the establishment).

If the laboratory has a monitoring system in accordance with the texts, the laboratory procedure may replace the committee requested by the ED, after agreement of the latter.

Mentor and tutor constitute the monitoring committee. This committee is not intended to substitute for the advisor. The thesis advisor and co-advisor, if any, and the mentor are collectively responsible for monitoring the thesis progress. The student is encouraged to make regular contact with his mentor or the member of the board attached to his institution, and share any potential difficulties associated with the progress or the supervision of his thesis.

 

Committee meetings

Meetings with the doctoral school

Mandatory meetings with the doctoral school's assistant directors' office are also scheduled to complement the work of the individual monitoring committee, according to the procedures and dates set by the establishments.
