Introduction

The Guilde des Doctorants is a technical group living on the Internet and devoted to PhD-training in France. It maintains a WEB server for PhD students.

This international page is intended to provide basic information about our activities in various foreign languages. However, most of the information contained on our server is written in French. Moreover, several mailing-lists gather hundreds of French PhD students interested on promoting the PhD and scientific research. Discussions on these lists are obviously performed in french, although most of the people understand english.
