Doctoral school materials

Presentation

 
The Materials doctoral school covers a wide disciplinary field at the interface of physics, chemistry and mechanics with a common denominator, materials science. Backed by a large number of materials science and engineering laboratories in Lyon, it is one of the 17 EDs of the UDL doctoral college. Its objective is to offer its doctoral students quality training in and through research and to help them prepare for their professional future.

Based on the activities of 6 research units, all recognised by the CNRS, the Materials ED offers a particularly rich and favourable framework for research. This research covers development, characterisation, study and modelling.

It also benefits from the scientific resources and networks of the Ecole Centrale de Lyon (supporting institution) and those of the two other supervising institutions, the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and the INSA de Lyon, which enables it to provide doctoral supervision under the best possible conditions.

The vitality of the Lyon Materials Doctoral School is based on solid foundations both in terms of university training and the industrial fabric (the region brings together nearly 20% of the national materials community).

The missions

The main missions of the Materials doctoral school are to offer doctoral students a doctoral training and an environment conducive to the advancement of their research as well as to help them define a solid professional project throughout their thesis:
To do this, the Materials ED ensures that it :
 
  • Implementing a PhD student admission policy based on explicit, public and selective criteria,
  • Ensure the quality of the supervision of doctoral students by the research units and teams,
  • To ensure the proper implementation and respect of the Thesis Charter. It ensures that doctoral students are able to prepare and defend their thesis in the best conditions,
  • To organise scientific and intellectual exchanges between doctoral students,
  • To offer doctoral students training courses useful to their research and professional projects, as well as the training necessary to acquire a broader scientific culture,
  • Organise follow-up and provide support for the professional integration of doctoral students,
  • To provide a European and international opening, in connection with foreign higher education institutions and research centres.

The ED in figures

The Materials ED of Lyon is composed of 200 to 230 PhD students and can rely on a little more than 100 HDR (list of HDR) members of 7 mixed units of CNRS.

The results presented below, which provide a more precise profile of the doctoral students and their location in the various laboratories of the ED, are the result of a survey conducted during the first quarter of 2022 among all the doctoral students of the ED
