Since 2024, the ELIT research network organised doctoral training course on the theme of interdisciplinarity, in French. A significant part of the course is dedicated to practical work, in groups. This course is opened to Phd students from all disciplines / fields of study and all doctoral schools. Since 2026, ELIT decided to open its course to doctoral students from the COFUND Breath and from EUniWell, by offering an English session.

This session in English was aimed in priority at Cofund Breath Phd students and Phd students from the EUniWell European Alliance.

If you are a local PhD student from Nantes, Angers or Le Mans, have a good level in English and would like to enrol to this course, you can register via Amethis from 9 November.
