Joint supervision allows doctoral students to prepare their thesis partly at ENIM and partly at a foreign higher education institution. It encourages the mobility of doctoral students and the development of lasting scientific collaborations between research teams.
Principles
01
Joint supervision is based on an agreement signed by both institutions.
02
The doctoral student is registered at both institutions; registration fees are shared as set out in the agreement.
03
The student is supervised by two thesis supervisors, one at each institution, who carry out their role jointly.
04
The student alternates stays at both institutions, according to a schedule set by the agreement.
05
The thesis leads to a single defence before a jury made up of members of both institutions.
06
The doctoral student receives a doctoral degree from each of the two institutions.

The agreement sets out in particular:
- the identity of the doctoral student and the thesis topic;
