Article 19 of the ministerial order of 7 August 2006 The board of examiners is appointed by the head of the establishment on the advice of the director of the doctoral school and of the thesis director. There are between 3 and 8 members of the board of examiners. At least half of it is composed of eminent academics, whether French or nonFrench, external to the doctoral school and the establishment where the candidate is registered, and who are chosen because of their scientific skills and expertise, subject to international joint supervision-related procedure. When several establishments are accredited to jointly grant the doctorate, the board of examiners is appointed by the heads of the establishments concerned according to the terms and conditions stipulated in the agreement linking them. At least half of the board of examiners must be composed of professors or academics of similar status conforming to the procedures relating to the Conseil National des Universités regulations on the appointment of members, or of lecturers of an equivalent level who are not responsible to the French higher education minister. The members of the examining board themselves appoint a Chair from among their number, and, if the need arises, a thesis defence rapporteur. The Chair must be a professor or person of similar rank or a lecturer of an equivalent level in the sense of the preceding paragraph. If the thesis director is a member of the board of examiners, he cannot be chosen either as a thesis defence rapporteur or as the board’s Chair. 5.2 Cover of the thesis Compulsory information >> Mention of the UEB: ‘Under the seal of the Université Européenne de Bretagne’ >> name of the establishment which is awarding the doctorate and the name of the doctoral school. >> first name(s) and family name(s) of the research director If there are two directors, place the principal director’s name first. For theses which are being defended within the framework of an international ‘cotutelle’, use the (/) slash to separate the names of the two thesis directors. >> possible volume numbering >> the date of the thesis defence, if fixed >> the composition of the board of examiners: family names and first names of the examiners. In the case of an international ‘cotutelle’ thesis, state the name of each of the establishments. >> research unit >> type of doctorate >> disciplinary field in which the thesis is being defended >> title of the thesis or of the main work The choice of words of the title is particularly important as each word is systematically indexed in catalogues and databases. >> the author’s first names (in lower case letters) >> and family name (in capital letters). According to the official rule, the family name should be used first, followed, if appropriate, by the usual name, whether it results from marriage or filiation. The two names are indexed and searchable in catalogues and thesis registry bases. The terms ‘wife’, ‘husband’, ‘known as’, or ‘born’ must not be used. To avoid any possible confusion between the author’s family name(s) and first name(s), all family names must appear in capital letters. 27
