Sources of financing
A non-exhaustive list of funding sources is given below. For most of these sources of funding, the selection is not made by EDMH, but by the funding organization. As this list changes regularly, candidates and thesis supervisors are advised to keep an eye on the various application deadlines.
When submitting an application on ADUM, the supervisor must indicate the possible funding envisaged (if the envisaged funding does not appear in the drop-down menu, indicate “Other funding”).
- ministerial grants (MESRI or MINEFI) allocated to institutions for “white projects” (not thematically focused). At UPSaclay, these grants make up the GS Maths doctoral program.
- doctoral grants from the Fondation Mathématiques Jacques Hadamard (FMJH).
- MathPhdinFrance program. The FMJH is a partner in the MathPhDInFrance program, co-financed by the European “Marie Sklodowska-Curie Co-funding of Regional, National and International Programme”. This program offers doctoral grants for co-tutored theses between a laboratory in the Paris region and one in another.
- grants from institutions focusing on specific themes: ANR-IA program at IP-Paris; ADI program at UPSaclay for cotutelle theses.
- grants financed by the Ile-de-France Region.
- grants offered by a research project of which one of the supervisors is a member: National Research Agency, ERC, Marie Curie networks, etc.
