General presentation of the PHAST doctoral school

Created in 1991, the Doctoral School of Physics and Astrophysics of Lyon (ED PHAST) is part of the Doctoral College of the University of Lyon, a college that brings together the 17 doctoral schools of higher education institutions in the Lyon region.
The ED PHAST has a particularity important doctoral supervision potential with 170 academic staff members authorized to direct research and is distributed across six laboratories.(CRAL, iLM, IP2I, LGL, LPENSL) two institutions (Université Lyon 1 and École Normale Supérieure de Lyon). It welcomes around 50 new PhD students each year.
The disciplinary fields of excellence of these research laboratories include astrophysics, subatomic physics, optics and lasers, materials for optics and optoelectronics, nanosciences and nanomaterials, non-linear physics, geophysics and the physics-health and physics-biology interfaces, geology and planets.
The objective of the ED PHAST is to offer doctoral students quality research training during their three years of thesis work and to support them in their future professional project (academic or private sector).
