During

Allocation criteria:

The conditions for this call are as follows:

• Only 1 grant awarded per person per year (maximum of 3 over the course of the PhD). The Doctoral School Council may exceptionally consider a second funding request in the same year for a PhD student, provided the 3-request maximum over the PhD duration has not yet been reached. The second request will then be reviewed subject to the mobility call budget availability (this request will nevertheless not have priority over those from PhD students who have not yet received any support from the Doctoral School).
• The participation must be related to the PhD research
• The laboratory’s contribution must be at least equal to the amount requested from the Doctoral School. Applications not meeting this criterion (i.e. when laboratories are not, a priori, able to provide support equal to the requested amount from the Doctoral School) may, on a case-by-case basis, be reviewed by the Council upon a substantiated justification from the thesis supervisor and the laboratory director explaining why the laboratory cannot support the PhD student’s mobility at the requested level.
• The maximum amounts awarded are: €150 for France / €250 for Europe / €400 outside Europe

NB: It is important to note that the funding request may be submitted to the Doctoral School even if the conference paper proposal has not yet been accepted.
If a PhD student enrolled in September wishes to obtain mobility support for a mobility taking place between September and December of the same enrollment year, they may do so by completing the form above. This request will be reviewed by the Council (if necessary by email), provided the mobility project is directly aligned with the PhD research project and that the Doctoral School’s budget allows. It is understood, of course, that if accepted, the funded mobility will count toward the maximum of 3 mobilities eligible for support during the PhD.

Additional ranking criteria when the total amount of eligible requests exceeds the budget allocated for this action:

• Priority will be given to requests from 2nd-year, 3rd-year, and later PhD students
• If multiple requests come from the same laboratory for the same conference, the Doctoral School will allocate a lump sum to the laboratory, with the amount depending on the remaining budget for this action
• The Doctoral School will favor providing support to PhD students actively involved in the Doctoral School (council, missions, CO, etc.) and will limit support in cases of unreported absences from doctoral training sessions
   

NB1: It is also essential to inform the Doctoral School Directorate (ed-eclis@doctorat-paysdelaloire.fr) as soon as confirmation or cancellation (e.g., if the paper is not accepted) is known, once funding has been awarded.
