More than 100 PhD students are preparing a thesis in the different teams of the laboratory within the framework of the Doctoral school (ED) Engineering and Systems Sciences (SIS).
Visit the ED SIS website for more information on the doctoral school, the training courses offered, funding, contacts…

The GeM is integrated in the EMJD SEED Simulation in Engineering and Entrepreneurship Development consortium, which finances theses in international co-supervision between the partners. More info…
