PhD candidates are now allowed to carry out missions in companies while preparing their thesis. Graduate student consultants are recruited and paid by universities which, for their part, are in charge of marketing the assignments.
Graduate student consultants are under contract for a total duration of 32 days per year, to be allocated as needed. Their wage amounts to 4,020 €. The scheme is open to all PhD candidates receiving a doctoral studentship (ministry's research allocation, CNRS' BDI, regional councils' studentship…). To help universities set up this scheme, the Ministry of Higher Education and Research has decided to put up the global amount of 2.8 M€ for 500 positions of consulting PhD candidates in 2007-2008.
