After review by the doctoral school, you will receive an email informing you of the registration procedure.

In case of problems, you can contact Jeoffrey MAILLARD by email : secretariat-NSCo@univ-lyon1.fr

You can carry out your pedagogical enrollment online via ADUM. You will be asked to fill in as precisely as possible the information concerning your application (type of funding, origin of funding, thesis director, laboratory, etc). You do not need to provide a copy of your doctoral contract if you have not yet obtained it, but you should do so as soon as possible. It is also possible to obtain a provisional certificate of enrollment at the doctoral school if this is necessary for the preparation of your work contract.

At the same time and with the help of your thesis director, you can start to fill in your Individual doctoral agreement necessary for your final registration to the doctoral school.

Once your file has been completed online, it will be validated by your thesis director, then by the laboratory and finally by the doctoral school.

You will receive an email inviting you to register at your chosen educational institution partnered with the doctoral school. You will receive by post details of the registration procedure, as well as deadline for registration.
