Action for the reinforcement of the S&T potential of the federal scientific institutions
The programme "Action to strengthen the scientific and technological potential of the State scientific institutions" is designed to facilitate the completion of Ph.D. theses by thirty selected researchers.
Given the hiring freeze in the State scientific institutions and the necessity of renewing within them both their methods and subjects and their research equipment, the government has decided to hire thirty young graduates exclusively for the purpose of preparing their Ph.D. theses there. For four years, this temporary contractual staff will play a "buffer" role, while awaiting possibilities for statutory recruitments. The scientific projects of these doctoral students will be sponsored by a Belgian university, and will fit within the priority concerns of the host institution.
