Preparation for an HDR (habilitation à diriger des recherches, or accreditation to supervise research) at Mines Paris – PSL has been available since 2023. The CSI (Centre for the Sociology of Innovation) offers to support the preparation of a HDR in “STS” (“sciences, technologies, societies”), a disciplinary specialization already provided by the CSI as part of the doctoral program in social sciences it contributes to.

Completing an HDR in STS at CSI means meeting the high standards of excellence demanded by the specialty, and being supported throughout the process, from the application to the dissertation and defense. Applications are examined by the CSI Laboratory Council, then by the Mines Paris – PSL Research Commission.

For further information, please contact Fabian Muniesa, head of the STS specialization (PhD/HDR).
