Visiting PhD students

International PhD, welcomed as a «visiting PhD» at Université Paris Cité

The « visiting PhD » is requested to follow the procedure online and send via email the below mentionned documents to the International Relations and Strategy office, welcomedesk.iro@u-paris.fr with a minimum of 2 months before the date of arrival (the sooner, the better) :

• the pdf file from the “MoveOn” application form for visiting PhD, print it and sign it
• a C.V
• a copy of your passport
• proof of health insurance (European card)
• proof of repatriation insurance
• proof of civil liability insurance
• the invitation letter from the director of your host laboratory at Université Paris Cité (stating the dates of the mobility and the title of the research project)
• a financial support letter certifying that the researcher has the required financial resources to support his/her stay in France (the letter can mention the amount of a grant or the home university income)
• the scientific agreement completed and signed by the visiting researcher, his/her home institution, the research coordinator and the Director of the host structure.
• PhD students should also attach a “certificate” of non registration at Université Paris Cité

Upon receipt of these documents, the International relations Office of the university will be able to edit your «host agreement”, the required document to apply for a scientific visa at the French embassy.
