When analysing applications, the members of the ED3C Board will particularly consider the candidate's motivation and the following two aspects:

• The Candidate Curriculum : quality of training and academic results (grades and rankings in bachelor's and master's degrees, other diplomas, ...), scientific research experience gained through internships (bachelor's, master1's, master2's internships, other laboratory research stays, etc.), geographical mobility.
• The quality of the scientific project (originality, feasibility within the framework of a PhD, innovative nature, etc.), of the supervisor (publications of the supervisor, in particular with doctoral students supervised in recent years) and of the research team.

The ED3C Board will not be able to select more than two candidates per research team.
