Doctorat
  • The institution

The UPHF, INSA Hauts-de-France and the Université Catholique de Lille are partners in a joint doctoral school.

By order of July 8, 2021, the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation has accredited the creation of the Ecole Doctorale Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (ED PHF n°635).

The Polytechnic Hauts-de-France Doctoral School

Carried by the Polytechnic University of Hauts-de-France, this is a joint doctoral school, in accordance with the site policy, to which INSA Hauts-de-France is a co-accredited institution and the Catholic University of Lille is an associated institution.

The ED PHF is multidisciplinary. It covers 7 scientific fields: Information and Communication Sciences and Technologies; Mathematics and their interactions; Chemistry; Biology, Medicine and Health; Humanities and Social Sciences; and Engineering Sciences.

The PHF ED is multidisciplinary.

It relies on 4 laboratories of the EPE UPHF and its component institution INSA Hauts-de-France, including 2 UMR CNRS, and 3 laboratories of the Institut Catholique de Lille, a member institution of the Université Catholique de Lille.

Our transformation into an experimental institution and the implementation of a new policy of territorial university sites in the form of groupings have led us, along with the Université Catholique de Lille, to form an alliance by signing a partnership agreement. Our Polytechnique Hauts-de-France doctoral school was born of this new territorial structure and is one of the fundamental tools for developing this territorial alliance in the areas of research, innovation and doctoral training, but also on the European scale of the EUNICE alliance, of which we are a founding member.

Abdelhakim Artiba, Président de l'UPHF

This polytechnic doctoral school offers students and industrial partners of INSA Hauts-de-France a unique opportunity to work together around the objectives of sustainable development within the framework of a demanding doctoral training.

Armel de la Bourdonnaye, directeur de l'INSA Hauts-de-France

The creation of the ED PHF is a historic step in a major axis of our alliance strategy between the UPHF and our University. Initially, three research units of the Catholic University of Lille, duly evaluated by the HCERES, are integrated: C3RD, a research unit in law; ESPOL LAB, a research unit in political science; ETHICS - EA 7446, a multidisciplinary, multi-methodological research unit structured around the theme of contemporary transitions and the ethical issues they raise.
