An attendance and participation certificate where the presented paper is featured must be handed in. An authorisation by the thesis supervisor is also mandatory.

The Doctoral Programme DOMAR offers training Advanced Training Courses (CFA) and Cross-disciplinary Courses (CFT), including 14 ECTS to this end on the enrolment, which must be taken through the period committed to the thesis (see DOMAR courses). These DOMAR training activities will be multidisciplinary and flexible so that the students, guided by their supervisors, will be able to choose the courses to be taken from the whole training offer that best suit their line of work.
