Presentation Transcript

  1. Office of Science and TechnologyEmbassy of France Mobility of (young) researchers The Doctoral level • a pivot between training and research • Double degree? « cotutelle » (or not!) • Fostering international partnerships

  2. GLOBALIZATION  International cooperation Higher Education Research Innovation WHY International partnerships?

  3. Direction of Globalization, Development and Partnerships Mobility and Attractiveness Hélène Duchêne Culture and French Language Global Public Goods Global Economy Innovation and Enterprises Scientific exchanges and Research Higher Education

  4. Sciences agronomiques La Mission pour la Science et la Technologie aux Etats-Unis Innovation Technologies propres STIC Environnement Espace Bio-info et universités Sciences de la vie, santé, biotechnologies Physique et nanotechnologies + CNRS, INSERM, CNES – CEA Washington

  5. Doctoral level: The Pivot between Training and Research • International Partnerships at the Thesis level: Cosupervised thesis or « cotutelle »  double diploma • Two supervisors, alternate stays in each country, flexible. One agreement per student. • Benefits: beyond one student!  extended collaboration, joint publications  further students • Funding: support for leaving expenses and travels • USA France: CHATEAUBRIAND – NSF • France USA: FULBRIGHT-France

  6. Cotutelles France-USA 2000-201180 signed agreements (36 US  Fr, 44 Fr  US) 25% Humanities and Social Sciences 75% Sciences, Engineering, Health

  7. TRENDS 2007 : PUF 2010 : more Chateaubriand Fellows in Science (6  24)

  8. 80 « cotutelles » PhD’s : American universities

  9. 80 « cotutelles » PhD’s : French universities

  10. Obstacles to double or joint PhD Degree • American universities hesitate to “share” their degrees • Duration: - Graduate school 5 years (min.) - Master 2 years + Thèse 3 years (min.) • Problem of Tuition fees: home university? • Best: partnership Graduate School – ED cf Erasmus Mundus for Doctorates example: Bordeaux-UCF Orlando (1994) 10 cotutelles Better attractivity through international offer

  11. BROADER TOOLS FOR PARTNERSHIPS Beyond individual Fellowships • Bilateral Funds: Berkeley (1993), MIT (2001), Chicago University (2001), Stanford (2003), Columbia (2007) Endowments MAEE/University  Seed money for long term collaborations Average of 10 research projects/year/Fund • PUF*** • International Laboratories (CNRS, INSERM, INRIA…)

  12. International Joint Laboratories: CNRS, INSERM et INRIA Cambridge Rockefeller, NY NewYork U UC Berkeley Rhodia Bristol New Brunswick UIUC Urbana Stanford U Penn Duke USC Los Angeles UC Riverside La Jolla Georgia Tech UC Irvine Tucson AZ Baylor, Dallas UMI CNRS LIA, GDRI CNRS INSERM unit INSERM LIA 12 INRIA unit

  13. Training and Research in Thermofluid Sciences 2008-2010: University of Florida - Paris 11 with Lille, Marseille, Nantes, Toulouse… Workshops- Summer schools-Visits Chateaubriand: 3 “cotutelle” PhD’s (Paris 11 and Lille) 2010 PIRE with 6 Japanese institutions, mainly for Mobility of grad students (2010-2014)

  14. Joint Research and Graduate Education Initiative Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI, Troy) with two French universities : Paris 11 (Orsay) Montpellier 2 • Chateaubriand : 2 Fellows from RPI • Montpellier (Biophysics), Paris-Sud (Physics) • 3 cotutelles (2009-2012). Agreements SIGNED! • PUF project (2010 – 2012) for partnerships between Graduate Schools/ED (RPI, Paris 11, Montpellier)

  15. Marc Garbey - University of Houstoncomputational Surgery PUF 2009-2011, 5 PhD, Atlantis 2010-2015
