Doctoral Charter
The doctoral charter constitutes an ethical agreement between the PhD candidate, his/her supervisor, the director of the doctoral school, and the head of the hosting laboratory (or team).
It serves as a guarantee of excellence by outlining the rights and responsibilities of each party.
The preparation of a PhD should be part of a personal and professional plan with clearly defined objectives and resources. This agreement aims to fulfil that purpose, willingly entered into by all parties involved.
