Each doctoral student will benefit from double supervision and a diploma awarded by two universities, reinforcing scientific cooperation and the international skills of students.<\/p>\n<p>This program is based on three fundamental principles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cotutelles thesis<\/strong>: it emphasizes the importance of cotutelle theses in developing the international skills of doctoral students and strengthening scientific cooperation. Each doctoral student will be enrolled at two universities (La Rochelle Universit\u00e9 and a partner university), with joint supervision, leading to a double doctoral degree. Candidates will be recruited by La Rochelle Universit\u00e9 for the duration of their thesis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Excellence and interdisciplinarity<\/strong>: the aim is to select 17 doctoral students via two calls for applicants (in 2025 and 2026), with a focus on excellence and interdisciplinarity. PhD students will be trained to tackle societal challenges through interdisciplinary events and a 3-month secondment to a non-academic partner to ensure an intersectoral approach.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transversal skills<\/strong>: the program offers a complete training program in transversal skills, based on the European principles of innovative doctoral training and covering the essential skills required of researchers throughout their career. In collaboration with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eu-conexus.eu\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EU-CONEXUS<\/a> European Alliance&#8217;s doctoral training offer, doctoral students will benefit from a unique European perspective on these essential skills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Find out more about <strong>Alexandre Camino<\/strong>, a PhD student between La Rochelle Universit\u00e9 and the University of Rostock, and <strong>Christina Zantioti<\/strong>, PhD in zoology at the A gricultural University of Athens, as part of the EU-CONEXUS thesis co-supervision program:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_cta h2=&#8221;&#8221;
