COMITE DE SUIVI

PhD Supervising comittee
Every PhD student is accompanied by a "PhD Supervising comittee". The PhD advisor is responsable for organising the comittee annual meetings.

1. Objectives
This arrangement allows to accompany the Ph'D students from the Doctoral School. The comittee must give advice concerning the progression and the quality of the Ph'D student's work. It must make sure that rhe Ph'D student is motivated and works enough to achieve work of quality in a given time. It also makes sure that the relationship between the students and their advisors will enable them to reach the best scientific level. Should there be any problem or difficulty, the comitte should inform the doctoral school as soon as possible. The comittee takes part in the decision making process about the student's trainning.
2.Composition of the comittee
- The PhD advisor (s) - At least two professors or researchers with an experience as PhD advisor. One of them at least must be working outside the PhD student's team. For financial reasons, it is better to work with a parisian professor or researcher. Among them, one person will be responsible for the supervising comittee but it can't be the PhD advisor. If necessary, a member of the doctoral school comittee will be able to attend the annual meetings. The PhD advisor will be responsible for appointing the members of this comitte and organising the meeting. The list of member is given to the Doctoral School during the first three months starting the PhD ( that it to say in January the first year at the latest).
3. Organisation and calendar
During every meeting,face to face interviews between the PhD student and their Advisor will be organised by at least one member. Following the meetings, the comittee will hand over all the advice to both the student and the advisor. The minutes of the Ph'D supervising comittee are indispensable to sign up the folowing year
