PhD training
CIRAD maintains close links with higher education establishments in North and South. Its researchers are particularly heavily involved in training PhD students and receiving post-docs. Each year, CIRAD researchers directly supervise more than 300 PhD students, 60% of them from developing countries .
A fundamental mission for CIRAD
CIRAD backs up its PhD training policy with incentive operations and research grants intended for PhD and post-doc students working on topics considered to be of strategic importance.
In 2008, 40 PhD students were awarded research grants by CIRAD. Moreover, 240 benefited from financial support for their work on their thesis. Support is provided in terms of operating expenses or of a grant to fund a stay in a CIRAD laboratory.
In all, CIRAD devotes more than 1.8 million euros to PhD training each year.
