(excerpt from the doctoral school's rules and regulations) "The thesis supervisors undertake, in accordance with the Université Grenoble Alpes PhD Charter, to:
Please note:
- help the PhD student to integrate into the academic and scientific community in his/her field of research,
- ensure that the PhD student follows the proposed study plan,
- ensure that he/she has the material and financial means necessary to carry out his/her project
- hold regular discussions with the PhD student to ensure that his/her research, skills acquisition and thesis drafting are progressing well,
- propose an active contribution to the writing of articles in peer-reviewed journals in which the PhD student’s name will appear,
- encourage the PhD student to engage in activities to promote and communicate his/her research work.
Please note:
- Face-to-face discussions, in person or by videoconference, are strongly recommended. "Without being an absolute rule, the UGA recommends a minimum of one monthly meeting between the PhD student and his/her thesis supervisors." ( Doctoral College Rules and Regulations, article 7)
- If a PhD student does not contact you regularly, ask for appointments; if he/she no longer responds to your messages, report it immediately to the laboratory directors and the doctoral school management team, so that they can help you find solutions.
