Training courses

The teaching aims to provide theoretical and practical scientific knowledge in the disciplines related to doctoral research, but also to allow an opening towards other approaches or fields. This need for flexibility is emphasized by the public and private scientific community as an essential element for professional integration. A young recruit is always led to use his or her skills in fields of application that are broader than those of the doctorate.

The curriculum includes 4 mandatory modules of 20 hours each. It is of course possible to combine shorter courses.

• 2 modules of scientific openness (40h) including the compulsory module of research ethics or scientific integrity
• 2 modules of professional insertion (40h).
     

Partial exemption :
Doctoral students under CIFRE contract, active hospital practitioners (e.g.: heads of clinics, AHU), salaried doctoral students whose funding is not dedicated to the thesis or doctoral students in cotutelle, are exempted from half of the modules (40h of training required instead of 80h).

 

Mandatory module: training in research ethics and/or scientific integrity
The University of Lyon offers 3 types of doctoral training in research ethics and scientific integrity:

Methods: Candidates register directly on the FUN platform. They receive a certificate of attendance from FUN at the end of the course, if they have answered the quizzes.
=> Website: https://www.fun-mooc.fr

Exclusively for PhD students of the University of Lyon, it is offered at the same time as the MOOC, on FUN-MOOC.
It will be composed of the same modules and sequences as the MOOC but, in addition, PhD students will have to produce a case analysis (from a case bank) and evaluate 2 case analyses made by their peers.
Modalities: the candidates register on Siged (catalog of transversal trainings), then receive an invitation to connect on the FUN platform.
At the end of the training, a certificate of 18 hours will be issued by the UdL if the final evaluation has been completed.

It is open to doctoral students who have followed the MOOC or SPOC and who wish to go further. Registration on SIGED, training catalog.

Modalities: candidates register directly on the FUN platform. They receive a certificate of attendance from FUN at the end of the course, if they have answered the quizzes.

In the age of "evolomics" (geno-, transcripto-, proteo-, metabolo-, etc.), what is the point of continuing to study fossils? What do these pieces of rock, witnesses of past evolutions, have to teach us that none of the super-powerful bioinformatics tools now available can see? We first address questions related to the origin of life and the first great eukaryotic radiations, and in particular how the molecular phylogeny of biologists fits - or not - with the available and imperfect data of the fossil record. Four lines of research are then considered and together they draw the same general, phylogenetic and macroecological perspective: the fossils illustrate the "extent of realizations" during the History of Life, specifying in fact the conditions at the limits of the present biosphere, a tiny fraction for more than 3.5 billion years. The last part of the course deals with the biomechanical aspects of biological morphogenesis. Through several examples drawn from the study of animal and plant morphogenesis, we show that the emergence of certain biological forms can be partly predicted on the basis of the study of mechanical instabilities generating similar forms in physical systems.
Finally, the module includes a visit to the paleontology collections of the University of Lyon 1, the first French university collections, created by the Faculty of Sciences of Lyon in 1808, with 10 million specimens! See you in June!

Non-specialized M2 master modules

These modules are open to all. Unless you have already taken them, you are free to choose. Interested doctoral students should contact the person in charge of the module concerned in order to find out how to follow the course, and possibly the person in charge of the Master.

Training courses offered by the URFIST (Unité Régionale de Formation à l'Information scientifique et technique)

Consult the URFIST training catalog 

Internships allowing to learn a technique, to discover another approach to research, as well as internships in companies, can be validated as modules.

The E2M2 Graduate School offers financial aid for internships abroad and in France. The objective is to help doctoral students to complete a budget in which the research unit or the thesis director would also participate.

This call for proposals does not concern conferences as such but training courses, workshops or seminars intended to provide practical knowledge or to familiarize students with tools used during the thesis.
(NB: these workshops can sometimes take place during congresses).

The maximum amount allocated by E2M2 is 300 euros per project.
These internships can be counted as doctoral training. Priority is given to internships abroad, but applications can also be made for internships in France.

The application form for internship support must be filled out in Word by the doctoral student, signed by the thesis director, and saved as a one-page PDF file with the following name: Forename.Surename.AidesStagesE2M2.pdf

The form should be sent by email to: secretariat.e2m2@univ-lyon1.fr + e2m2.codir@listes.univ-lyon1.fr.
