Candidates are strongly encouraged to contact the researchers of the two CEMPI partner laboratories (Lab. Paul Painlevé and PhLAM) active in their field, prior to submitting their application, in order to ensure their research project is in line with the CEMPI research program. The research project elaborated by the applicant with at least one member of the CEMPI will be an important point in the evaluation of the applications.
