The objective of the PhD Joint Programmes is to have two teams, one French, the other international, work on a common project and to encourage the mobility of young researchers. They allow funding of doctoral grants and mobility for 3 years.
All fields of science are concerned, notably biology, chemistry, humanities and social sciences, and engineering sciences.
The calls were launched within the framework of privileged institutional partnerships with these three major partners in North America. These strategic alliances have also led to the creation of two international research centers (IRC): the France-Arizona Institute for Global Grand Challenges, established in 2021 with the University of Arizona, and the International Research Center for Fundamental Scientific Discovery, created in 2022 with the University of Chicago.
