    The pre-selection is based on the general scope of published and unpublished results for the Developmental Biology field, the quality of the application letter and the intellectual contribution of the candidate to the results obtained.<\/p>\n

    A sub-committee of three members of the Board, different each year, then designates the winner and honorable mentions after a thorough reading of their entire thesis. At this step, selection criteria are: the scope and quality of the results, the writing quality of the entire thesis manuscript and the relevance of the discussion.<\/p>\n

    At least one paper related to the thesis work must be published or submitted to bioRxiv. On the other hand, there is no need for the paper to be published in a so-called \u2018major\u2019 journal.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][vc_media_grid element_width=”12″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1763051014163-9e26d76f-fd5b-4″ include=”2325″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-pencil-square-o” add_icon=”true” title=”APPLICATION FORM” tab_id=”candidater”][vc_custom_heading text=”Application form” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”]
