Nous avons recueilli un témoignage de sa part :
« After a five-year PhD journey—of which four years were spent in a cotutelle program — I had the honour of publicly defending my doctoral thesis at the beginning of May. My research focuses on the role of business incubators in supporting smaller cities and their contribution to sustainable regional development.
The defence took place in Bucharest, in one of the symbolic rooms of the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. The examination committee was composed of:
- Assoc. Prof. Dr. Anca Bogdan – Bucharest University of Economic Studies
- Prof. Dr. Christina Theodoraki – Aix-Marseille University, France
- Prof. Dr. Léo-Paul Dana – Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada
- Prof. Dr. Adrian Curaj– National University of Political Studies and Public Administration, Romania
And my supervisors: Prof. Dr. Carmen Păunescu – Bucharest University of Economic Studies, and Prof. Dr. Gilles Lambert – University of Strasbourg, France.
The cotutelle program was significant in enriching my thesis. Working under the guidance of two highly accomplished supervisors provided me with complementary academic perspectives and critical support in shaping the direction of my research. It also enabled me to enhance the relevance of my findings for theory, practice, and policy development.
Participating in a cotutelle program granted access to a broader range of academic resources and international perspectives, and allowed me to pursue a more comprehensive research trajectory in addressing my questions.
My public defence was a deeply meaningful moment, attended by two of my fellow PhD colleagues, my husband, and our 7-day-old daughter.
I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Augustin Cournot Doctoral School and for the guidance and mentorship of Professor Gilles Lambert, to whom I will remain sincerely thankful. »
Nous souhaitons la féliciter chaleureusement pour ce bel accomplissement !
