Failure to do so will lead to theme being withdrawn from the doctoral programme, and therefore losing their place.
In order to renew enrolment, the academic committee of the doctoral programme must have evaluated the doctoral student’s activity in the previous academic year (Doctoral activities document and annual research and evaluation plan).
