Supervision of a CIFRE dissertation
CIFRE – Industrial Agreements for Training Through Research
CIFRE agreements bring together three partners—a company, a recent graduate, and a research laboratory—around a research project that will lead to the defense of a doctoral dissertation.
These agreements are intended for companies that commit to assigning a recent graduate (with a master’s degree) to conduct research in direct collaboration with an external laboratory.
The CIFRE programs are managed and coordinated bythe National Association for Technical Research (ANRT) on behalf of the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education, and Research.
During the three-year term of the agreement, the company receives an annual lump-sum subsidy from the ANRT.
