  3. An invitation will be sent to  the selected candidates at least two weeks before the interview.
     
  4. A panel made up of members of the laboratories attached to the doctoral school and not presenting a conflict of interest will interview the invited candidates. The thesis project, validated beforehand by the research laboratories, will not be judged: only the academic merits, the motivations and the adequacy between the candidate and the subject will be examined. Applicants residing abroad may request a waiver from the director of the doctoral school for interview by videoconference. Interviews can be conducted in French or English for non-French speaking candidates. The precise modalities of the hearing will be stated on the invitation to interview.
     
  5. The doctoral school council meets in the days following interviews to proceed with the deliberations on the basis of the academic records and the opinion issued by the interview panel.
At the end of the deliberations, the council proposes a list of the admitted candidates, without classification, in alphabetical order as well as a complementary list which makes it possible fill places due the possible withdrawals of candidates. The results are then transmitted to the institutions, the only decision makers, for validation.
