The CBI international Ph.D. program was initiated upon the foundation of the CBI in 2016 and includes all Ph.D. students. The ambition of the program is to foster a community of well-trained, highly motivated, and dynamic young researchers. The CBI Ph.D. program committee includes staff scientists representing all institutes of the CBI, and is supported by its directorship. Our aim is to help our Ph.D. students to become part of the scientific community, to guide them in their career choices, and to participate in their training. Surrounded by the stimulating and dynamic environment of the CBI, the program proposes in-house training courses, seminars, and social events.

Dear 1st year PhD students,
We hope that these first few months as PhD students have been positive for all of you.
There is an annual tradition at the CBI to officially welcome 1st year PhD students during an integration day.
This special day allows all PhD students to gather, meet and create new relationships. You will also have the opportunity to present your work while sharing a convivial moment.
This year, the integration day will take place on January 11th 2024. We would like to precise that this event is mandatory for all of you.
Integration day details :
This year, the integration day will take place at the Bowling Club Gramont, in Balma (Centre Commercial Auchan 2 chemin Gabardie, 31200 Toulouse).
You can get there easily by metro line A, terminus Balma Gramont.
We will meet at 10:30 a.m. for a coffee, followed by several presentations aiming at introducing you to the various programs and organizations set up for doctoral students in the CBI.
We'll then have lunch at the bowling restaurant and we will restart the afternoon with a special activity designed to introduce you to each other.
Around 4:30 p.m., we will participate in a team bowling tournament, with prizes for the best players and teams!
We'll end the day with an evening buffet at the bowling alley, with all CBI members who want to join us.
Kind regards,
The organizing committee

The CBI Ph.D. Mentoring! created by Julie Batut
Do not hesitate to contact Julie if you would like to become a mentor or you need advice. It became a doctoral school's module entitled "Module Mentoring CBI Ph.D. program" and could be found via Adum!
Our mentoring program includes:
1. Individual meetings and discussions (at least monthly)
2. Round table sessions
3. Career Workshop
Mentoring is a timeless concept with roots in ancient history. The word “mentor” comes from The Odyssey by the Greek poet Homer. When Odysseus, King of Ithaca, sailed off with his army to fight in the Trojan War, he entrusted his friend Mentor to care for and educate his son, Telemachus. The word “mentor” eventually came to mean a trusted advisor, counselor, and friend.
The CBI Mentoring pairs new students with faculty mentors that match student interests and needs.
Mentors are • Advisors, who have career experience and are willing to share their knowledge,
• Supporters, who provide emotional and moral encouragement,
• Tutors, who give specific feedback on one’s performance,
• Supervisors, who monitor their students’ academic and professional progress,
• Trainers, who teach students about professional responsibility,
• Sponsors, who are sources of information about opportunities and assist students in obtaining them, and
• Role models, who exhibit the qualities and ethical values that academics should possess.
(The National Institutes of Health,1999; Zelditch, 2001).
