- CIFRE agreements

You would like to host a PhD student under a CIFRE agreement?
The PhD student works in your organization on a research theme decided between the research director and the partner for the duration of the thesis (3 years).
The doctoral student's remuneration is brought by the partner, who benefits from partial coverage by the ANRT.
The CIFRE agreement is the ideal format for organizing the conditions for shared R&D between the Sorbonne Business School and the partner.
- Research contracts
-
You have a specific study to carry out? The theme, methodology and methods of reporting results are defined by mutual agreement between the teacher-researcher and the partner company.
There are 2 types of research contracts:
- The service provision contract
It frames a research activity defined by specifications and deliverables. Funding is supplemented by the partner. The intellectual property belongs to the partner. The establishment retains ownership of the know-how and improvements implemented. The establishment has an obligation of result. The contract is subject to VAT.
- The collaboration contract
It frames a research activity with a willingness to collaborate towards a common result. It defines the work to be undertaken by each of the parties and the pooling of resources (human and financial). The intellectual property is shared.
