During the year 2012, a jury composed of members of the science board of the CEBA auditionned candidats for theses with subjects that fit the research area of the CEBA. The jury selected 6 candidates.
These theses benefit from the “CEBA label”, they are financed half by the CEBA and half by the FSE (European social fund). The students registered at the University of Antilles and French Guiana and started their research on October 1st, 2012.
Here are the subjects of the 6 theses:
