Le collège d'experts internationaux assiste le directeur de l'ED et son conseil dans les choix stratégiques, les orientations scientifiques et pédagogiques, et le choix des sujets de thèse et des doctorants qu'il auditionne et classe. Il émet des avis sur les dossiers qui lui sont transmis, et il participe, une fois par an, à la réunion du Conseil de l'ED (élargi aux directeurs des ED partenaires) consacrée à l'attribution des allocations.

"The program's goal is to recruit outstanding students from all over the world into an interactive PhD program that gets students to think critically, learn, and work outside of disciplinary boundaries. The students are encouraged to think broadly, work collaboratively, and devote substantial energy and effort to thinking about scientific education both in France and throughout the world. The FdV PhD program now has 7 Doctors and 93 PhD students spread in a variety of excellent groups engaged in interdisciplinary projects.These students come from all over the World : China, USA, Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia, Hungaria, Croatia, Yougoslavia, Algeria, Iran, Israel, Morocco, Tunisia, Mexico, Guatemala, Venezuela, Mauritius and France." |

"The interdisciplinary PhD program "Frontiers in Life Sciences" has been established with some original and important goals in mind, namely to promote a platform where PhD students from all over the world and from a broad range of disciplines could meet and exchange ideas and results. The hope is to create a special spirit promoting creativity, unexpected thoughts and new research directions. Since the program includes philosophy, the idea is also to bring back into the realm of analytical sciences notions concerning ethical issues and the philosophical implications of scientific discoveries. This seems to me of the utmost importance, in the present days." |
