The « 3i » dimension of LIGHTinPARIS PhD Projects

All LIGHTinPARIS PhD projects include a 3i dimension as an intrinsic part of the research plan.

The 3i dimension of the PhD project allows the fellow to benefit from the expertise and experience in an interdisciplinary setting with a co- supervisor from a different field, or an  intersectoral setting with a co-supervisor from a non-academic / industrial partner, or in an international collaboration with a co- supervisor in a laboratory outside France<

International projects: Work on your PhD project building scientific bridges internationally

Fellows are required to undertake a mandatory 12-month secondment abroad.
