At the end of each academic year, the Academic Commission of the programme evaluates the progress of the PhD students. from the second year onwards, the evaluation is based on the annual update of the Research Plan made by the student and the annual report of the thesis supervisor(s), on one hand, and on the training activities fulfilled by the student during the academic year, on the other.

 b) It is important to remember

  • The student must record the fulfilled activities in the PhD monitoring application
  • The training activities are validated by the thesis supervisor(s). A recorded training activity can be in one of the following four states:

a.      Once introduced by the student, it is signalled as PROPOSAL.

b.      The supervisor(s) must modify the activity, indicating whether it is an ACCEPTED PROPOSAL or a NON ACCEPTED PROPOSAL.

c.      Once fulfilled, supervisor(s) modify its state, indicating FULFILLED.

      When the activities document is printed, only the accepted or fulfilled activities are shown.
