The CIRUISEF, Conférence Internationale des Responsables des Universités et Institutions à dominante Scientifique et technique d’Expression Française, held a conference in Dakar last November 24 to 27, 2009 entitled “The Scientific Doctorate in the French-Speaking World: issues and skills.” This conference, in which ABG participated, was attended by more than 200 participants from 26 countries.

Last July, Harmattan published a digest of the proceedings of this conference in its "Géopolitique mondiale" series edited by Evelyne Garnier-Zarli, CIRUISEF president.

The following points were discussed during the conference and taken up in the book:

Skills expected of “new” PhDs in science and technology, their added value and ability to translate it into knowledge;

the missions of a doctoral school, the rights and responsibilities of PhD students, thesis supervisors and doctor schools;

strengths and weaknesses of French-speaking countries in the French-speaking world in the field of science and technology;

the responsibility of teachers and researchers today in training scientists for the society of the future.
