Training

Training is one of the Institut Curie's missions and is recognized by the authorities, which support it financially.
Since March 2009, the Institut Curie and Pierre and Marie Curie University has been strengthening their relationship by signing a framework agreement in the fields of research and education. More than UPMC students conduct their master's degree and/or doctoral thesis at the Institut Curie, and 14 UPMC teacher-researchers carry out their research work at the Research Center of the Institut Curie. In the whole, 5 research units benefit from "shared supervision" or "partnerships".

More tan 170 students conduct their master's degree and/or doctoral thesis at the Institut Curie each year.

Scientific postgraduate students come for research training in the Institut Curie laboratories, thus benefiting from the expertise and know-how of researchers specializing in disciplines as wide-ranging as biology, chemistry, bioinformatics, and physical chemistry. While increasing numbers of students and medical interns also benefit from the experience of Institut Curie physicians in the treatment of cancer by taking courses while boarding at the Institut Curie Hospital.

• International courses
• PhD and M2 grants for foreign students: The Institut Curie funds foreign students who wish to do their thesis work in one of its laboratories.
• European Programme for doctoral studies in the sciences, of which the Institut Curie is a partner.
• Inserm school: The Institut Curie participates in a study program set up by Inserm, for medical students.
• Medicine-sciences training program: The Institut Curie is a partner of the Université Paris 5 - René Descartes and of the École normale supérieure de Paris in a medicine-sciences training program for medical students at Université Paris 5. The Institut Curie funds research allowances for the medical students who wish to do a PhD in its research laboratories.
• Grants for physicians

An increasing number of students from Paris-Descartes or Versailles-Saint-Quentin medicine university are welcome to train into the different hospital sites of Institut such as more than 100 medical students or chemist students each year : 76 DES, 58 "faisant fonction d'internes" and 6 chemist students. Their visit is also for them an oportunity to engage or follow a research training next to scientifics or physicians often driving transversal research programs.
