Specific Training

The Doctoral School's specific training programs consist of:
 

• A 2-hour EEA tutorial offered by laboratories affiliated with the EEA Doctoral School in Lyon and organized by this latter. The tutorial is chosen in consultation with the thesis supervisor. The objective is to acquire, beyond the thesis topic, a comprehensive overview of the scientific and technological disciplines within EEA, and more specifically, the EEA community in Lyon. This transdisciplinary approach is particularly important due to the rapid development of interdisciplinary research. It is mandatory to complete at least 12 hours of tutorials during the 36 months of doctoral studies. However, the total number of validated hours cannot exceed 20. The booklet (tutorial schedule and content) is available below:
  • Tutorials 2025-2026: program and schedule including location and rooms, registration, and feedback
  • Programs from previous years' tutorials (2010-2011 to 2024-2025)
