The Ecole doctorale en Art et Sciences de l’Art organizes activities to support the doctorate in Art and Art Sciences.
The doctorate in art and sciences of art consists of a practical part, an artistic achievement or a work of restoration of a work or several works, and of a theoretical part, a written thesis, both being in close connection, forming a whole, which is as such the object of the final evaluation.

In all cases, aspects of artistic and theoretical research are carried out jointly in an interaction between artistic work and theoretical reflection. This dual aspect of the doctorate in art and art sciences makes it necessary to collaborate between universities and colleges of the arts in supporting doctoral students in this field. This collaboration is reflected in the training activities offered.
