CIFRE (Convention Industrielle de Formation par la Recherche) is a system introduced by the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation to encourage exchanges between public laboratories and the socio-economic milieu.
Its main objective is to encourage the employment of doctors in companies, while at the same time contributing to the innovation process in France.
CIFRE helps companies to recruit a young doctoral student whose research work leads to a thesis.
The aim of the CIFRE program is to reinforce R&D cooperation and encourage the employment of doctoral students. Three actors are involved in this scheme.
The company gives a doctoral student a research and development project, based on a need, which is to be the subject of his or her thesis.
The graduate has a Master’s degree, is registered in a doctoral school attached to the laboratory and has a research mission.
Outside the company, it supervises the doctoral student, who shares his time between the laboratory and the company.
The CIFRE system is becoming very popular because it offers advantages for everyone concerned !
