The overall objective of the PhD Scholars Programme is to provide high-quality PhD training in cancer biology. The scientific programme addresses the following areas:
  • Key genes and proteins associated with the genesis and progression of cancer
  • Signalling systems, cell interactions, and tissue remodelling in cancer
  • Novel therapeutic strategies using clinically relevant models of tumour growth and spread 
The projects are grouped into three sub-themes of:
  • cell growth and survival
  • cell migration and invasion
  • immune modulation of tumour growth and therapy
The research programme is underpinned by the considerable track records of the principal investigators in their respective areas and by extensive international collaborations with leading cancer research institutes.

The PhD training programme begins with a structured first year that includes taught elements, general scientific training, and specific training in the biological and clinical aspects of cancer. A major part of the first year for each student will be three, twelve-week laboratory rotations. The students will then choose the project and supervisor with whom they will carry out research for their PhD thesis. Throughout the programme there will be research seminars with international speakers and advanced training workshops. Students will be encouraged and supported to attend conferences, either nationally or internationally, to present their work as they progress through the programme. 

The PhD Scholars Programme in Cancer Biology is directed and managed by a steering committee, composed of four scientists and three clinicians, who collectively have extensive experience in research and PhD training. They, together with a full-time training coordinator, facilitate and monitor the progress of the students through the programme, assemble thesis committees, and provide ongoing mentoring, in conjunction with the student's PhD supervisor. 

The Scholars who graduate from this programme will be equipped with the skills to carry out leading research in cancer biology or in related disciplines.

The primary social and economic value of modern societies is knowledge. For this reason, mastering Information technology for structured or unstructured information recorded in Datawarehouses, such as the Web, and containing dormant knowledge is essential to the development of both individual and society.

Data mining and knowledge management (DMKM) has become essential for improving the competitiveness of businesses and increasing access to knowledge. DMKM still comes up, however, against major scientific and technological obstacles. This EM MC’s degree in DMKM proposes specialized training in this field.

The consortium is composed of six universities among four countries: France (University of Pierre and Marie Curie Paris 6, University of Lyon Lumière Lyon 2, Polytec’Nantes), Romania (University Polithenica of Bucharest), Italy (University of East Piedmont) and Spain (Technical University of Catalonia). The Master in DMKM is based on experience in multi-site teaching gained from the Master’s degree in Knowledge Extraction from Data, which has been running since 1999 within three members of the consortium.

The Master in DMKM is aimed at students from all over the world. Candidates must have a Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in the fields of computer science, mathematics or statistics, as well as a good level of English (TOEFL 550 or equivalent). Admission is granted on the basis of a selection procedure. Classes are taught in English and the course is composed of 18 modules of around sixty hours each. The course runs over 4 semesters. The first semester is devoted to basic training and includes subjects in mathematics, statistics, databases, etc., whereas the two following ones are devoted to acquire two specialties among six ones, such as Complex Data Mining, Information retrieval, Knowledge acquisition and management, etc. The fourth semester is targeted to the writing of a dissertation in either a laboratory or a company. Language classes will also be provided to ensure that students integrate as well as possible in socio-cultural terms in the host country. Each student must spend (6-12) months in at least two of the four countries. Students that have obtained 120 ECTS will automatically obtain national Master degrees from the countries in which they have studied. Classes are transmitted via video-conferencing. They are also recorded and accessible online. Students can benefit, on their site of residence, from support in the form of tutoring for each course. Tuition fees are 4,000 €/year for European students and 8,000 €/year for other students. All candidates may apply for Erasmus Mundus scholarships.

The Erasmus Mundus programme "Computer Simulations for Science and Engineering" (COSSE) is a joint initiative of four European universities:

- KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
- Technical University of Berlin, Germany
- Technical University of Delft, the Netherlands
- Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen- Nürnberg, Germany

The field of computer simulations is of great importance for high-tech industry and scientific/engineering research, e.g. virtual processing, climate studies, fluid dynamics, advanced materials, etc. Often the field is referred to as the third pillar of science complementing theory and experiments.

COSSE is a two-year master's programme offering a double degree from two universities. The students enter one of the universities and continue the second year at one of the other institutions in another country. COSSE offers education of the highest international standard as well as a unique experience of meeting different European cultures, languages, climate and nature.

Students from any country are welcome to apply. A number of Erasmus Mundus scholarships are available.
