  2. Doctorate at UPMC • 3,400 Doctoral Candidates (DC) registered at UPMC 1/3 international DC • 19 Doctoral Schools (DS) • 16 DS with UPMC carrying the principal accreditation • 3 DS with co-accreditation • distributed into the 4 research poles of UPMC: • 750 Diplomas of Doctorate awarded / year (12 % sci. theses in France) • > 200 co-tutelles • Modeling & engineering • Energy, Matter & Universe • Living Earth & Environment • Life & Health Sciences

  3. toward Sorbonne University … • 3 universities, and more: • Panthéon-AssasLaw, Economics and Management • Paris-Sorbonne Literature and Humanities • UPMC Science and Medicine • MuséumNational d’HistoireNaturelle • … • 65000 students, 7000 doctoral candidates • 5000 teachers and researchers • 33 DS, 1230 doctors per year

  4. The Doctoral Training Institute • Missions • Implement the doctoral policy of the university • Coordinate and mutualize the Doctoral Schools’ means and actions • More specifically: • Train doctoral researchers and supervisors on the professional issues of the Doctorate: transferable skills, job market, project management • Produce indicators on the Doctorate (funding, time completion, supervision rates, etc.) and the doctors’ careers development • Inform Master students on the Doctorate • European and international development

  8. Roles of Doctoral Schools • Beginning of the Doctorate • Call for Doctoral Research Projects from labs • Doctoral Researchers Recruitment • Integration of new Doctoral Researchers • During the Doctorate • Life of DS (website, meetings, workshops…) • Follow-up of Doctoral Research Projects (follow-up committees) • Follow-up of the Individual Training Plan of each Doctoral Researcher • Problems and conflicts management • Authorization to extend beyond 3 years • At the end of the Doctorate • Preparation of the thesis defense • PhD’s careers tracking

  9.
