Each meeting includes an individual interview between the committee and the thesis director, on the one hand, and between the committee and the doctoral student, on the other. It is the responsibility of each registered doctoral student to organize an annual meeting with his/her committee, based on the following triptych: a joint presentation on the progress of the research project - lasting around 15 minutes of oral presentation, followed by discussion - with the committee and the thesis director, an individual discussion between the committee and the thesis director, and then a meeting with the doctoral student alone. A report of this meeting is then sent to the doctoral school, the thesis director and the doctoral student, and signed by all parties. Each year, the doctoral student must add a copy of this form to ADUM when applying for re-registration (or for authorization to defend the thesis), together with an updated student form listing the training courses attended over the past year (files available below), and a seminar attendance form. It is the doctoral student's responsibility to organize the appointment and present himself/herself with the pre-filled doctoral student and interview forms (available below).

A confidentiality agreement is available on the doctoral school website, which committee members must sign prior to the interview (to be completed only in the first year, if the composition of the committee remains unchanged), and which will be kept at the ED secretariat.Monitoring committees should be convened in June-July of each year (by September of the following academic year at the latest, except in special cases), and in any case before any new enrolment.In the 3rd (or 4th) year, the monitoring committee issues an opinion on the possibility of defending the thesis.

Each doctoral student is free to interact more with his/her monitoring committee if he/she so wishes.The committees have been set up to help with doctoral training.
