LSM GROUP / IGLSM / DOCTORAL SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT
Summary
The Doctoral School of Management offers an international integrated doctoral school
across four universities in Belgium, based on the strengths in the five research centers in the
Louvain School of Management Group and the synergies with the full universities in related
disciplines. The doctoral training contains a three-year programme (180 ECTS), whereof 23
ECTS corresponds to mandatory seminars and confirmation, 37 ECTS can be accumulated
by selected doctoral courses and through continuous research activities (conferences,
papers etc) and the remaining 120 ECTS being the doctoral thesis itself. The doctoral
school and the graduates are recognized for their quality in international scientific rankings
and on the academic and private jobmarkets. About 50% of the graduates from the
Doctoral School of Management teach in different international universities in Europe,
North and South America and Africa, the remainder occupies qualified positions in private
and public organizations across the world.
Admission to the programme is given to strong candidates with Masters degrees in
management (5 years equivalent), having received the support from a faculty member in
Louvain School of Management Group to mentor their training. Thus, the programme
already requires you to carefully reflect on the field of interest and your capacity to
undertake research to get into the programme.
Each doctoral student has a senior faculty member as their personal supervisor to guide
them in their research and is an active member of a center of excellence with LSM research
institute. Your progress in the programme is guided by a supervisory panel along four
mandatory steps: a definitive admission for a project, confirmation exam, a private doctoral
defense and the public doctoral defense.
The doctoral programme is heavily subsidized and comes at a nominal tuition fee: full
financing through teaching and research assistantships, scholarships and fellowships are open
on competitive terms.

1 Introduction
This Vademecum summarizes several regulations, rules and procedures governing the doctoral
studies in management in LSM. In addition, it provides some other useful information on the
doctoral process and studies at LSM. The document draws on the Doctoral regulations of the
Acadmie universitaire Louvain approved by the Council of the Acadmie (DR) and applicable
regulations from the four institutions cited. However, note that this document is provided for
informational purposes and is not part of the regulation and that the original documents in French
supersede any translations into English in case of ambiguity.
The outline of the Vademecum is as follows: Section 2 provides an overview of the terms used and
defines the decision makers and bodies in the process, Section 3 describes the steps in the doctoral
curriculum (i.e pre-admission, admission, confirmation, private defense and public defense), Section
4 describes the DSM doctoral school and the courses and elements that constitute the research
training programme, Section 5 is devoted to the financing of doctoral studies. The Vademecum is
closed with a list of contacts centrally in LSM and per institution.
2 Definitions
Below, some key terms, roles and decision-making bodies are defined with some reference to their
objectives for the LSM doctoral programme.
2.1
Academie Louvain
The French community in Belgium organizes the university system in academies, to which specific
rights, among others the right to award doctoral diplomas, are given. The Acadmie universitaire
Louvain was constituted on 29 June 2004, by virtue of a higher education decree, and consists of
University of Notre-Dame de la Paix at Namur (FUNDP), University of Saint-Louis (FUSL) and the
Universit catholique de Louvain (UCL) with campuses in Louvain-la-Neuve and Mons.
The members of Acadmie Louvain with ICHEC (Business school in Brussels) have formed the
Louvain School of Management Group in 2011, a strategic alliance aimed at improving the research
and executive teaching in management in Belgium.
2.2
IGLSM Louvain School of Management Group Research Institute
The Louvain School of Management Group Research Institute (IGLSM) organizes the research
activities within the LSM Group, including the scientific management of the Centers, the doctoral
school of management, the working paper series, seminars, conferences and the support and
promotion of LSM research internally and externally. Being an integral part of LSM across all sites, its
members are all faculty members, post-doctoral researchers, doctoral researchers and assistants
within the LSM institutions. The IGLSM is open for affiliation from other faculties as well, and some
members of IGLSM have double affiliations with other institutes without losing involvement in the
LSM research. The organs of the Institute are the Council, the Board and the Director (Prsident).
The Council, comprising all members of the institute, meets once or twice per year to review the
LSM research activities, decide on policy lines and to elect Board members and the Director. The
Board of the Institute, regrouping the directors for the Centers and the Chairman of the DSM
Bureau meets every second month to manage the activities and research strategy of the Institute.
The Director, elected by the Council for a three-year term, manages the day-to-day activities of the
Institute and represents it in the decision-making bodies of LSM and the Universities.
The multisite research institute IGLSM is institutionally founded by the amended LSM convention of
02/09/2011, approved by the Council of Academie Louvain (FUCaM, FUNDP, FUSL UCL and
ICHEC) as an interuniversity research institute with a special standing in the LSM Group. In having
members and governance from the four universities (and potentially ICHEC), the Institute differs
from the faculty Louvain School of Management (LSM) that is limited to the UCL campuses Louvainla-Neuve and Mons.
Likewise, the doctoral school in management (DSM) is an interuniversity doctoral programme with
the same institutional members as the Institute, thereof the strong synergies between the research
institute IGLSM and DSM.
2.3
LSM Centers of Excellence
The main research in the Louvain School of Management Group Research Institute is organized
within the five Centers of Excellence (cf Section 4.2.1). The centers provide inspiring research
environments for senior and junior researchers through the organization of doctoral workshops,
conferences and the seminars in their respective fields. In addition to fundamental research, the LSM
centers of excellence perform applied research with private and public organizations within their
domain of expertise. Most centers also maintain strong relations to disciplinary research institutes to
ensure access to a large panel of researchers and projects. The Director of each Center is elected by
its members according to its statutes. Each of the five Centers is involved in the management of the
Institute through the IGLSM Board.
All doctoral candidates must attend a DSM reading seminar in a center. Each center has a director
and a doctoral coordinator that may provide information about the activities of the centers, see
respective website.
2.4
LSM Research Commission = ILSM Board
The LSM Research Commission, coinciding with the ILSM Board, is responsible for the overall
management of the research within ILSM, including the Centres of Excellence, the doctoral school
and faculty research. The ILSM chairman (the LSM Research Director) is member of the LSM Group
Executive Committee, where major decisions regarding research activities are made. The directors
of the Centers are normally mandated to the Board, The scientific staff is represented through three
elected assistants from the ILSM institutions.

2.5
Doctoral programme
The LSM doctoral programme is a 3rd cycle interuniversity educational programme in management
under the Bologna treaty, comprising 180 ECTS composed of
1. the definition, editing and defense of a doctoral dissertation corresponding to at least 120
ECTS, the process of which is described in Section 3 below, and
2. a research training programme (60 ECTS) with both courses, modules, workshops, and
individual scientific training activities, described in Section 4.
The programme is open for holders of recognized Masters degrees (at least 300 ECTS). The degree
of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is conveyed after the defense of a PhD thesis that should outline the
quality and originality of the research as well as the candidates ability to communicate about his/her
area of expertise. The doctoral programme is subsidized by the Belgian state, implying that the total
tuition, payable at definitive admission, amounts to 835 EUR (2011/2012) and the annual
administrative fees are low, 32 EUR (2011/2012) per year after admission. Specific tuition
reductions are possible for candidates that qualify for economic assistance. For detailed information
about the financing opportunities for doctoral research in management, see Section 4.2.4.
2.6
Candidate
The candidate is the person desiring to pursue the LSM doctoral programme.
A candidate is admissible into the doctoral programme on the following conditions that are verified
and approved by the DSM Doctoral Bureau:
1. Completion of Masters degree in management (alt. M.Sc. in management) 120 ECTS with
honors or equivalent, terminating undergraduate and graduate university studies of at least
300 ECTS. A student with a Masters degree 120 ECTS obtained with honors or equivalent
in a different field may be granted access after validating up to 60 ECTS of graduate
coursework in management or equivalent.
2. Proficiency in English (a level of 80 at the internet-baed TOEFL, a semester at an Englishspeaking university or equivalent may be required).
3. Acceptance by a ILSM faculty member to act as a temporary supervisor (mentor) for a
specific theme or topic.
The quality of being a doctoral candidate in the Doctoral programme does not imply any
employment situation with respect to any of the institutions in the Acadmie, see financing in Section
4.2.4.
2.7
Supervisor
The supervisor is a faculty member of an institution in the Acadmie Louvain, granted with the right
to supervise doctoral research, able and willing to guide the research in a given field until completion
of the thesis. A second supervisor may be appointed from an institution within or outside of the
Acadmie Louvain, provided the criteria of eligibility and expertise in the field of study are fulfilled.
Depending on the stage in the admission process, we distinguish between the roles of temporary
supervisor and [permanent] supervisor, although normally both are performed by the same faculty
member for a given candidate.
2.7.1
Temporary supervisor
The temporary supervisor acts as a mentor, initiating the candidate in the doctoral process, in the
selection of doctoral classes and activities and in the definition of the thesis project. The engagement
with the temporary supervisor is limited to one year and is intended to be succeeded by either the
designation of the temporary supervisor as permanent ditto, or the referral to another LSM
supervisor, better suited for the candidate and/or the topic.
2.7.2
Permanent supervisor
The supervisor guides and supports the candidate in the definition, structure, editing and
presentation of the doctoral research, warranting for the scientific contribution of the final work and
its process. The engagement between the candidate and the supervisor is reciprocal and lasts
normally until the termination of the doctoral programme, unless terminated by mutual consent and
with the confirmation by the DSM Doctoral Bureau.
2.8
CODAL
The Doctoral Commission of the Acadmie universitaire Louvain (CODAL) operates at the level of
the Acadmie. Its core mandate is to establish and enforce the doctoral regulation for all member
universities and all disciplines, to arbitrate between doctoral commissions for domains (disciplines)
(CDD) when necessary, and to solve eventual conflicts between doctoral students and their CDD.
With respect to DSM, CODAL is primarily the ultimate instance for appeal and conflict resolution
concerning decisions made by a concerned university, the Doctoral Commission of the Domain
(CDD), notably the Doctoral Commission for Economics and Management (cf Section 2.9).
The contact to CODAL is Mrs Welsch (UCL/ADRE) marie.welsch@uclouvain.be .
2.9
CDD Economics and Management
The Doctoral Commission of the Domain (CDD) Economics and Management is mandated by the
CODAL to supervise the different steps of the doctoral process (admission, ), to authorize the
candidate to pass onto the following step of his training and to solve eventual conflicts between a
candidate and his/her supervisor.

2.10 DSM Doctoral Bureau

The CDD Economics and Management is assisted by the DSM Doctoral Bureau in the administration
of the pre-admission (see 3.1), the admission (see 3.2), the confirmation (see 3.3), the private (see
3.4.3) and public defense (see 3.4.5) for theses in the doctoral school. The bureau also prepares the
appointment of thesis supervisors, doctoral committees and doctoral jurys for validation by the
CDD and relevant site instances (Dean) prior to designations by the Rector of the site at which the
defense will take place.
The administration for the DSM Doctoral Bureau is centralized to Ms Sandrine Delhaye
(sandrine.delhaye@uclouvain-mons.be), tl: +32 65 323 326 ; fax: +32 65 323 223 at the
LSM/Mons Campus.
2.11 Supervisory panel

The supervisory panel (cf Section 3.2.1.3) is composed of the supervisor(s) and at least two other
members having a doctoral title or equivalently. The supervisory panel is appointed by the CDD on
a proposal by the candidate and the supervisor. At least one member of the panel should be external
to the research group of the supervisor. The panel helps or advises the candidate in his work in
terms of research and international networking. The panel members should provide regular
guidance during the entire duration of the doctorate, meeting at least once a year with the
candidate. This normally implies that the members of the supervisory panel should be on faculty in
LSM institutions or regular visitor of LSM.
The supervisory panel forms the jury for the Confirmation (cf Section 3.3) as well as the proposal for
the members of the doctoral jury for the private and public defense of the thesis (cf Section 3.4.2).
2.12 Doctoral jury

The doctoral jury is composed of the supervisor(s) and at least three other members, whereof at
least one external to the Acadmie Louvain, usually an international scientist expert in the field of the
thesis. The designation of the jury is made by the Rector of the institution at which the defense takes
place on proposal by the CDD, in its turn informed by the supervisory panel. The members are
chosen on basis of their scientific merits in the field of the thesis and are eligible supervisors in their
respective institutions. The same doctoral jury is evaluating both the private and the public
defenses.
3 Stages in the doctoral process

The doctoral process contains four or five stages: the optional pre-admission, the admission, the
confirmation, the private defense and the public defense. Note that admission (pre-admission or
permanent) is necessary to undertake activities in the doctoral programme, credit is not awarded for
activities prior to admission (pre-admission). This chapter is devoted to describing these stages in
some detail from a process viewpoint.
3.1
Pre-Admission
The pre-admission is an optional step, primarily intended to allow for qualified candidates to define
their project and supervisor, while pursuing courses and integrating in the doctoral programme.
Below we review the objectives, application process and appeal provision for this step.
3.1.1
Objective
The optional pre-admission stage (DR art 2.1) is intended to provide the candidate with the
necessary time to accomplish the administrative, financial and social stages involved in the integration
in a research environment (e.g., the application for scholarships, the organisation of project funding,
receipt of visa and work permits if applicable). The decision to pre-admit a candidate is made by the
CDD. A pre-admission is valid for at most 12 calendar months and authorizes the candidate to
Define and prepare a thesis proposal (see art 3.2.1.2) under the guidance of the [temporary]
supervisor (mentor).
Define and propose a programme for individual research training (see art 3.2.1.4) in collaboration
with the [temporary] supervisor. Credits are awarded for courses and reading seminars during the
period of pre-admission (see Section 4.2).
Identify and establish a scientific collaboration with the [permanent] supervisor, including the
necessary contacts to propose a supervisory panel (see art 3.2.1.3).
3.1.2
Process
An application for pre-admission can be made any time and should be made on a specific form to the
local CDD/DSM member for a site in the Acadmie where the temporary supervisor (mentor) is
active. The CDD/DSM member can act as a source of information to find a potential supervisor
unless such contacts are already taken. The pre-admission process contains two stages (i) application
for pre-admission to the coordinator, and (ii) administrative registration at the local institution within
the Acadmie.
3.1.2.1
Pre-admission application
The pre-admission application file must contain the following information:

Identity, full name (copies of identity card and/or passport)
Contact information (address, telephone and email)
CV and copies of obtained university degrees
Research field intended
Letter of support from an LSM faculty member volunteering to act as temporary supervisor (mentor)
during the pre-admission phase
The DSM Doctoral Bureau validates the information in the application with respect to admissibility
as a PhD student and writes a decision (accept/reject) that is sent to the candidate and the local
doctoral administration.
3.1.2.2
Pre-admission administrative registration
Following the approval by the local DSM Doctoral Bureau member, the candidate will receive an
authorization to register as a doctoral student in pre-admission for up to 12 months. The candidate
registers locally at the institution (contact information in Table 34) and pays the annual administrative
fees that are due.

The supervisor
An LSM senior faculty member (professor or permanent scientist) with a doctoral degree obtained
after the public defense of a thesis is eligible to supervise doctoral research within a given scientific
domain. A thesis may be supervised by two faculty members (co-supervision), provided both are
eligible to supervise doctoral students and that at least one is a faculty member in the Acadmie. A
retired faculty member (emeritus) may continue supervision for already admitted candidates, but
cannot act as supervisor for a new candidate. The thesis supervisor(s) must write and sign a Letter of
Support to confirm the commitment to supervise the proposed candidate and project until
completion. Without a Letter of Support from an eligible supervisor in the file, the
application will be rejected by default.
3.2.1.2

Tentative thesis title

Summary of the objective or research questions for the project, including a statement of the
motivation and originality of the chosen topic within the field of management.
Short state-of-the-art literature review for recent work related to the proposed project.
Methodological statement sufficiently detailed to enable an assessment of its relevance with respect
to the stated research questions.
Scientific bibliography
Tentative project plan outlining human, material and financial resources necessary to complete the
project.
Projects that are insufficiently specified, too ambitious or inadequate in terms of methodology or
literature are rejected.
3.2.1.3
The supervisory panel
The supervisory panel is proposed by the supervisor(s) and contains at least two other eligible
faculty members, whereof at least one member is external to the research group of the
supervisor(s). The voluntary members of the thesis committee are committed to provide continuous
guidance to the candidate during the project, meeting at least once annually with the supervisor(s)
and the candidate to discuss the progress. The prior consent of the proposed members to serve on
the supervisor panel must be solicited by the supervisor. The DSM Doctoral Bureau may suggest
changes in the composition of the supervisory panel to better suit the project and candidate. The
CDD approves the proposed supervisory panel.
3.2.1.4
The research training programme
The proposal for the training programme is elaborated jointly by the candidate, the supervisor(s) and
the supervisory panel with the objective to conceive a package that is tailor-made for the scientific
needs of the candidate and the project. The part necessary to be specified in the admission folder
concerns the courses (24 ECTS) and the identity of the chosen DSM reading seminar (18 ECTS).
The details of the elements of the former are given in Section 4.2.2.2 below.
3.2.2
Application contact and deadlines
The electronic application file is to be sent by email to the DSM Doctoral Bureau through its
administrator (see above) with a copy to the local CDD/DSM member (if the candidate is preadmitted).
The CDD reviews the admission applications monthly, candidates can inquire to the Bureau
secretary for the dates of the upcoming meetings. Regular deadlines for registration per academic
year apply.
3.2.3
Process
The CDD reviews the admission applications continuously. An acceptance decision of the CDD is
sent to
The Candidate
The Supervisor(s)
The Members of supervisory panel
The institution at which the candidate is registered
In the case of a rejected admission, a motivated decision of the CDD is sent to

The Candidate
The Supervisor(s)
The CDD may judge that the application should be improved in order for the Bureau to come to a
positive decision and ask the candidate to submit an updated version.
3.2.4
Administrative registration
Following the approval by the CDD, the candidate will receive an authorization to register as a PhD
student. The candidate registers locally at the institution of his/her supervisor and pays tuition as well
as the annual registration fees that are due. For successive registrations up until the academic year
for the final thesis defense, the candidate must pay the annual registration fees prior to Dec 1 each
year to stay in the programme.
3.3
Confirmation
The confirmation procedure is a mandatory intermediate step in the doctoral process with the
purpose to assure adequate progress towards the thesis defense in order to meet the statutory
objectives in terms of time and quality. The confirmation serves several objectives.
First, the confirmation is the critical stage where the candidate has to convince his/her supervisory
panel about the prospects of terminating the thesis as initiated. In passing the confirmation,
candidate gets an endorsement from the supervisory panel to continue the research along the
undertaken direction until the private defense (at least one year later).
Second, the confirmation is the occasion for the supervisory panel to more precisely fix objectives
and limitations for the candidate and the project, given the intermediate results from the 1-2 years of
research. These guidelines are important to focus the final work at fruitful areas for scientific
contributions, opportunities for publication and/or data availability.
Third, the progress and status at the confirmation allows the supervisory panel to identify and isolate
potential barriers for the candidate in the realization of the project. These barriers could be both
linked to material resources (access to financial resources, tools and proprietary data) and human
resources (personal capacity of the candidate to master parts of the methodology, supervisory
capacity, international connections, etc). The guidelines from the confirmation should address any
potential barriers identified as to ensure that the objectives can be achieved in due time with highest
quality.
3.3.1
Deadline
Within 24 calendar months from the definitive admission to the doctoral programme by the CDD,
the candidate should pass the confirmation stage. The CDD may extend the delay if justified with
exceptional circumstances. Note that for FNRS fellowships, the renewal report after two-years
requires a passed confirmation stage.
3.3.2
Process
The confirmation step is organized between the candidate and the supervisory panel at a time and
site of mutual agreement and involves several elements:
1. Two months prior to the intended confirmation date, the candidate or the supervisor
informs the DSM Doctoral Bureau (administration) about the upcoming event. The request
is accompanied by the following information:
a. Updated sheet of passed courses etc in the Planned research training (cf. 4.2.2)
b. List of planned courses etc of the Planned research training
c. Updated sheet of achieved Continuous research activities (cf. 4.2.3)
d. List of scientific publications
e. List of presentations at scientific conferences
2. The candidate or supervisor may request the presence of a member of the DSM Doctoral
Bureau at the confirmation. Analogously, the DSM Doctoral Bureau may signal their
intention to assist at the confirmation. In both cases, the DSM Doctoral Bureau will
coordinate with the supervisory panel as to find a suitable date for the confirmation.
3. Unless a request has been made as of (2), the supervisor informs the DSM Doctoral Bureau
about the date of the confirmation.
4. Two weeks prior to the confirmation, the candidate submits the confirmation report, a
written report or authored article(s), showing progress in the research project. Minimum
requirement would be to have terminated a thorough literature review and specified the
methodological basis for the work. If an article (presented or submitted/published) is
submitted, a short written note should document the position of the article in the thesis
proposal and the plan for future work.
5. At the confirmation, an oral presentation (20 minutes) of completed and future work in the
doctoral project.
6. After presentation and discussion, the supervisory panel and possible members of the DSM
Doctoral Bureau deliberates upon the conclusions of the confirmation.
7. The report from the confirmation (Appendix Y) is written by the member of the DSM
Doctoral Bureau, if present as of (2), or by the supervisor and signed by all members of the
supervisory panel.
The report is submitted in original to DSM Doctoral Bureau (administrator) for the CDD. The DSM
Doctoral Bureau validates the confirmation report and disseminates the result of the confirmation to
The Candidate
The Members of supervisory panel
In the event of failure (DR art 2.3.3), the CDD can define a period of maximum 12 months within
which the candidate may retry the confirmation.
3.4
Doctoral defense
When the supervisory panel considers that the candidates work and doctoral research training have
been satisfactorily completed, it proposes a composition of a doctoral jury (DR art 2.4.1). The
private defense can be done earliest one year after the passed confirmation.
3.4.1
Doctoral jury
A doctoral jury includes the thesis supervisor(s) and at least three other members selected for their
scientific competence in the field of the thesis. At least two of the jury members should be external
to LSM, thereof at least one external to the Acadmie, and all members should possess a doctoral
title earned through a public defense of a thesis or equivalent expertise. Normally, the members of
the supervisory panel form part of the jury, exceptions to this rule should be validated with the DSM
Doctoral Bureau prior to submission of the proposal.
The jury is chaired by the Dean of the faculty or a delegate, who is not counted as one of the
members in sense of the paragraph above. In practice, the local CDD/DSM member will chair the
jury for the LSM doctoral candidates.
3.4.2
Process for the designation of a jury
The written and signed proposal by the supervisor on behalf of the supervisory panel is to be sent to
the DSM Doctoral Bureau for validation. After validation of the status of the confirmation, the
registration of the candidate in the institution, full payment of fees, and the full documentation of the
completed doctoral training programme of 60 ECTS, the DSM Doctoral Bureau transmits the
proposal to CDD Economics and Management. After approval by the CDD Economics and
Management, the proposal is transmitted to the Dean of the faculty concerned by the DSM Doctoral
Bureau. The members of the jury are (formally) appointed by the Rector of the university
concerned.
Upon receipt of the designation of the jury, the DSM Doctoral Bureau transmits a copy to :
The Candidate
The Supervisor(s)
The Members of the jury
The local CDD/DSM member
The administrative requirement for the minimum time between the date of the appointment of the
jury by the Rector and the date of the private defense is defined by the member institutions in the
Acadmie. E.g., at UCL, the requirement is to allow six weeks between the appointment of the jury
and the private defense.
3.4.3
The private doctoral defense (DR art 2.4.2)
The jury comes to a joint decision on the date of the private defense, in agreement with the
candidate. One month at the latest before the chosen date, the candidate forwards the provisional
text of the thesis to the jury members; this text must consist of either an original thesis, or an essay
accompanied by a coherent set of publications and work of which the candidate is either the author
or the co-author. These documents can be submitted in French or in English.
The entire jury should be present for the private defense (videoconference is authorized). If this is
not possible for some reason, the absent member must send a written report before the defense to
the chairman of the jury, giving his/her reasoned opinion on the value of the thesis and a list of the
questions to be put to the candidate.
The private defense will start with a short oral presentation (30 min), the jury will then discuss the
text submitted as well as the research results with the candidate.
At the end of the private defense, the jury deliberates and comes to a conclusion about the
admissibility of the thesis. The chairman of the jury documents the following decisions at the
defense:
1. Form for the defense, signed by all present members declaring
a. Acceptance or not of the admissibility of the thesis.
b. If found non-admissible, a minimum delay in months from the date of the defense
for the organisation of a new private defense.
c. If admissible, a summary of necessary modifications prior to publishing the thesis and
the public defense
d. Expected time to implement the modifications specified under (c), at most three
months. For longer delays, a new private defense has to be organised.
e. Possible delegation of the approval procedure for the resubmitted thesis after
modifications in (c), either supervisor(s), supervisory panel or jury.
f. Approximate date for the public defense, no earlier than one month after the
private defense.
The result of this deliberation is communicated orally immediately to the candidate and the written
form is forwarded to the DSM Doctoral Bureau for validation and the compilation of an official
transcript of the defense. This transcript is transmitted to:
The Candidate
The Supervisor(s)
The Members of the jury
The CDD Economics and Management
3.4.4
Process prior to the public defense
The candidate prepares the new thesis draft along with a short document summarizing the
implementation of the changes decided, resubmits it to those charged with the approval of the
changes (cf. 3.4.3e above). Once the modifications decided in art 3.4.3c above are approved and a
final date has been agreed among the members of the jury, the approving party (cf. 3.4.3e above)
transmits a written demand to the DSM Doctoral Bureau to organize a public defense at that date.
The DSM Doctoral Bureau transmits this request to the concerned university administration and
invites the jury and the public to the public defense.
The candidate requests a number of the thesis from the DSM Doctoral Bureau (administrator) and
prints the approved thesis version in the series of doctoral theses Acadmie Louvain/LSM and
transmits the printed thesis at least two weeks prior to the defense to
Members of the jury
DSM Doctoral Bureau
An electronic copy must also be sent to the person responsible for electronic theses within the
Acadmie member institution which will award the degree (DR art 2.5.2). The procedure for
submission is detailed in La gestion academique et administrative du doctorat au sein de l'Academie

3.4.5
The public doctoral defense (DR art 2.5.1)
The public defense consists of an oral presentation given by the candidate of the results of the
research work which have led to the thesis; on this occasion the candidate should lay emphasis on
the qualities and originality of the work, and its relevance to the wider scientific public. This
presentation is followed by a discussion between the candidate and the jury and then with everyone
present at the defense.
At least two thirds of the members of jury should be present at the public defense, which may not
last longer than three hours. Any member unable to attend the public defense must send a written
report before the sitting, giving his/her reasoned opinion on questions that he/she wishes to put to
the candidate to the chairman of the jury.
3.4.6
Administrative process after public defense
Immediately after the public defense, the jury members withdraw to decide on the outcome of the
doctoral programme, awarding the 120 ECTS for the successful defense of the doctoral dissertation,
and to certify that the candidate has obtained the minimum 180 credits required for the granting of
the academic title of doctor (DR art 2.5.3). A member of the jury is designated to act as Secretary
for the deliberation. The chairman of the jury prepares the following documents to be issued after
the deliberation:
1. Diploma for the Acadmie with signatures of all present members of the jury and the
Secretary.
2. Official report for the private defense, reproducing the composition of the jury, the date,
location and result of the private defense and summarizing the contributions of the thesis on
one page, co-signed by all present members of the jury
3. Official training certificate (certificate de formation la recherche) of the doctoral programme
with summary of validated elements, signed by the chairman of the jury, the secretary and
the candidate.
4. Appendix to the training certificate with details of the doctoral programme, signed by the
secretary of the jury.
5. Official report of the public defense, including the date, location, and result of the defense,
signed by all present members of the jury.
The chairman immediately announces the result publicly and the new doctor signs the diploma and
the training certificate. The chairman then transmits the diploma and the certificate to the Rector of
the concerned university for signature. The official report and the official bulletin are transmitted to
the DSM Doctoral Bureau for further dissemination to the Dean of the concerned faculty and CDD
Economics and Management.
The DSM Doctoral Bureau (sandrine.delhaye@uclouvain-mons.be) archives a copy of the official report
and the bulletin and transmits documents to:
The Dean of the concerned campus (original official report)
The CDD Economics and Management (copy)
3.4.7
The diploma
The doctoral diploma specifies the name of the awarding institution and the Acadmie Louvain (DR
art 3.1), it is also accompanied with a supplement in accordance with art 82 of the Decree (March
31, 2004). The diploma in original cannot be reproduced in case of loss.
3.5
Joint programmes with institutions outside the Acadmie
A doctoral candidate may be subject to an agreement with a university outside the Acadmie. In
such case, the model agreement with the external university should conform to the model
agreement in DR (Annex 1). Prior to signature by the Rector of the concerned universities, the
proposed agreement should be validated by the DSM Doctoral Bureau for the CDD Economics and
Management, and the Dean of the faculty.
3.6
Appeal process
Any decision (pre-admission, admission, confirmation) made by the CDD Economics and
Management may be appealed to CODAL, the interdisciplinary doctoral commission for the
Acadmie, cf Section 1.1.
4 DSM Doctoral School

This Section describes the research training, i.e. the activities that prepare and support the
definition, analysis, editing and presentation of the individual research work that the thesis
constitutes. The role of the DSM Doctoral School is twofold; (i) to provide an organized set of
training activities leading to the best possible preparation and conduct of internationally recognized
research in management, (ii) to socialize doctoral candidates into a research-driven environment
through close contacts with faculty members and fellow doctoral candidates within LSM. In addition
to the DSM, ILSM also organizes events such as the Doctoral Forum, where doctoral candidates
from all centers and orientations meet, present work orally or by poster and attend lectures on
timely topics. The activities in the DSM Doctoral School are open only to candidates that are
admitted (pre-admitted).
4.1
Structure
The DSM Doctoral School is recognized as a Graduate School in Management by FNRS and is
organized formally as three years of 60 ECTS each. The training programme may be divided into
Common activities that are mandatory and uniform for all and Individual activities that potentially vary
for each candidate. Note that the research activities comprised in the credits for a doctoral school
are assumed to be performed continuously throughout the year and not only during the academic
year, as in undergraduate programmes. This also implies that doctoral candidates performing other
services in parallel (e.g. teaching assistants) normally will require four to six years to complete their
doctoral degree. The content of the full programme is presented in Table 45 below.

Organisation
The DSM Doctoral School is organised around the five LSM centers of excellence, active across the
LSM sites. These centers offer the critical mass of professors and researchers to pursue
internationally recognized research in their chosen domains, but also the scientific and social context
necessary to promote the exchange of ideas, methods and data within and outside the universities of
the Acadmie. The activities of the centers include, beside the individual research of affiliated
members, joint research with national and international partners, applied research for national and
international organisations, the organisation of doctoral courses and the involvement in postgraduate or executive training programmes in their domains. Besides a Director, the center have
also an appointed Doctoral Coordinator who is the central contact for all information regarding the
reading seminars, doctoral courses and recruitment of doctoral students in the center.

DSM Reading seminars per center
Doctoral candidates are required to participate during three years in a DSM reading seminar in a
center of their choice. The activities of each reading seminar are defined by each center, but include
normally the structured reading and discussions of thematic and seminal work in their area,
intersected by presentations and discussion made by doctoral candidates. The active participation in
the Reading seminar is validated by the Doctoral Coordinator of the concerned center. The
affiliation with a specific center is not necessary for the participation in a reading seminar, candidates
may also change reading seminar after approval by the DSM Doctoral Bureau.
4.2.2
Planned individual research training
The principle with the doctoral course programme is to define an individual methodological
preparation for the given research project through mutual agreement between the candidate and
the supervisor panel. Note that the planned part of the training only concerns the 24 ECTS of
planned individual research training in Table 45 above, as the individual research activities are
accumulated continuously in accordance with research progress. In addition to doctoral classes given
by the centers in LSM and other institutes within the Acadmie, doctoral courses may also be
attended in the CEMS doctoral network or through EIASM (EDEN seminars), or at other
universities within or outside Belgium in relevant disciplines. For certain candidates (ICM fellows, see
5.3.1), the attendance at a foreign institution is a requirement of their programme and credited as a
part of the 24 ECTS for the ICM fellowship.
Part of planning for this stage may be made already during pre-admission through the active
assistance of the temporary supervisor (mentor). The final course programme is approved by the
DSM Doctoral Bureau on proposal from the candidate in the admission application.
During the doctoral training, the supervisory panel and the candidate may jointly request
amendments to the planned doctoral training programme to the DSM Doctoral Bureau.

The individual programme should contain at least two of the courses in epistemology and research
methodology, such as the classes in Table 79Table 8 below for 2011/2012. In addition, each Center
normally organizes specialized doctoral classes, given in Table 8 for 2011/2012. The schedule and
instructors for these classes are announced at the website for the doctoral school as well as
www.uclouvain.be. The classes provide the necessary tools to critically define and review a research
topic by clarifying the research objectives, methodology and paradigms employed. However, the
needs of candidates vary and some may immediately want to pursue specific methodological aspects
as to e.g. define the statistical methodology to be employed in the research.

Supplementary credit (up to 6 ECTS in total) may be awarded to doctoral candidates for courses
organized in the master programmes, subject to written approval by the examiner of the course and
the definition of additional work subject to evaluation (Appendix C).
4.2.2.1
Doctoral courses requirements
The DSM Doctoral Bureau is responsible for the validation of the type and level of doctoral classes
for which ECTS credits are given. The criteria concern (i) the consistency with the research project
and (ii) the level of the training with respect to the pre-requisites of the candidate.
A doctoral course should correspond to either a fundamental methodological or epistemological
need in the research training, or alternatively, meet a specific instrumental need in the elaboration of
the models and tools for the advancement of the research project. Courses can be selected from the
graduate programmes of other faculties for credit with DSM, provided credit has not already been
given for another diploma. Given the written prior approval of the DSM Doctoral Bureau based on a
written request from the thesis supervisor(s), a doctoral candidate may exceptionally include as
planned activities ad hoc courses taught by their supervisors that are partially coordinated with
teaching activities in non-graduate programmes. Such courses cannot duplicate elements already
followed in Master's programmes, can only be credited up to a total of 12 ECTS and the written
demand from the supervisor(s) should confirm the need for the methodological training and its
consistency with the research project.
4.2.2.2
Courses and seminars procedures
Registration for DSM internal courses is done through the DSM local administrator on a specific
form. Registration to participate in the doctoral courses externally may require specific steps,
payments etc that are not covered here and that may need the coordination with the concerned
supervisor and the DSM Doctoral Bureau.
Credit is never awarded based on certificates of attendance (or equivalent), the proof of a successful
passed evaluation by the candidate is required.
The evaluation can either be made within the course by the organizer (examiner) in the form
decided by him/her. In case no evaluation is organized in the course, the supervisor may examine the
candidate by e.g. a project or oral examination to award credit for the course. The grade reports or
results of ex post evaluation by the supervisor are to be reported to the DSM Doctoral Bureau on
form and signed by the course examiner or doctoral coordinator for center (for reading seminar).
Credit is not given for courses and seminars examined prior to the date of admission/pre-admission to
DSM.
The DSM Doctoral Bureau archives the course grades in the file of the candidate and transmits
copies to the candidate and the supervisor.
4.2.3
Continuous research training activities
An important part of the research training consists in individual continuous activities (conference
presentations, publications, refereeing, etc) that are fulfilled throughout the duration of the
programme. This essential training in scientific communication and publishing is awarded ECTS
credits as in Table 910 below. Note that ad hoc courses beyond the planned activities in Table 45 are
credited with credits as in Table 67. The CDD Economics and Management may decide to extend
the list of activities if relevant.
The procedure is relatively simple, a single form per activity where the supervisor signs and
endorses the type of activity:
1. For conference presentations, the supervisor must certify attendance, presentation and type
of conference. Note that a first presentation at the LSM Doctoral Forum or equivalent event
as decided by the DSM Doctoral Bureau is already credited in the 5 ECTS for the
Confirmation and is not cumulative with this category.
2. For publications, the published paper or the letter of acceptance from the journal, is simply
submitted along with the form by the candidate. Credits are awarded at the receipt of a
letter of acceptance from the journal, it is not necessary to wait for the article to go into
press.
3. For research visits abroad, the form is signed by the inviting faculty member at the foreign
institution certifying the character and length of stay, an original letter of invitation from the
foreign institution should be appended to the file.
4. For courses and training seminars, registration and possible evaluation sheets are submitted
in their original form; for classes without formal evaluation the supervisor may organize such
evaluation and report on the appropriate form.
5. For teaching activities, a standard statement should be signed by the responsible for the
department where the teaching has been performed.
In order to promote journal publication and to create visibility for the LSM research, each doctoral
student is obliged to submit and publish at least three LSM Working Papers during their doctoral
training. Note that this activity also opens the travel support in IGLSM (cf. art. 5.4.1 below).

CEMS Courses
Doctoral classes for CEMS member institutions are announced at the CEMS RDE webpage,
www.cems.org Note that funding for participation in CEMS doctoral classes may be obtained from
FNRS and a supplement can be given from IGLSM.
Thanks to the collaboration within the CEMS group, LSM doctoral students may benefit from
doctoral classes in the format of Intensive Blocked Seminars from HEC Paris. The doctoral
seminars are concentrated to the given weeks only and valued at 3-4 ECTS. The location for the
courses is HEC Campus and some facilities are available for visiting students (library, rooms for rent,
restaurant, public transport). Further information on https://studies2.hec.fr/jahia/Jahia/phd-seminars
or by email for the coordinator at HEC, Mme Caroline DENISE, denise@hec.fr
Given that the purpose of the Research Training Programme is to award credit for scientific communication (beyond the editing
of the thesis), no credit is given for non-scientific publications.

See also the requirement to publish three LSM WP during the doctoral training (these papers may be submitted for publication
elsewhere).
5 Financing of doctoral research

The objective of the Doctoral School of Management is to provide a research environment at high
international level leading to the training of highly skilled doctorates capable of producing original
qualified, and relevant research output. As the future activities and employers for the doctoral
candidates may be private and public organizations, academic institutions and non-governmental
organizations, the financing of the doctoral studies (tuition and living expenses) is independent of the
doctoral programme. Below we outline several possibilities open for candidates, with indication of
what particular qualifications on behalf of the candidate that may be needed.
5.1
Teaching assistantships (TA)
Each university within the Acadmie caters a limited number of teaching assistantships per each
department within LSM. The assistantship is a temporary (two-year, renewable twice) position
within the university that carries a monthly salary (normally scale 8L, starting salary 32.335 EUR
brut, 01/12/2010, indexed annually), normal vacation, free public transportation to the workplace
and social benefits etc. Teaching assistants work part-time with preparation of teaching material,
grading exercises and projects, tutoring students individually or in groups, giving exercise sessions
and other assisting tasks in their functional department. The teaching burden varies over time, but
annually the service time is never higher than 50%. The rest of the time is devoted to research and
the progress in the doctoral process is an important criterion for the renewal of an assistantship.
Vacant teaching assistantships are opened for competitive recruitment in May each year using a webbased application system (cf. the links below). In addition to the criteria for admission to the
doctoral programme (cf art 2.6) language requirements (French) may apply in certain cases.

http://www4.fusl.ac.be/4DACTION/EWA_Emplois/Evt/P/3
Research assistantships (RA)
In addition to the TA, the universities also offer a variable number of temporary positions as
Research Assistants within the departments and centers of excellence in IGLSM. These positions are
normally limited to a shorter period (1-3 years, occasionally renewable once) and financed for
specific research projects allocated to a supervisor, research team or department. The other service
conditions are identical to the TAs and it is fairly common that RAs are awarded TA positions when
their RA expires if the performance has been good. Research assistantships are advertised centrally,
but also at the site pages for the departments within the universities and for the centers of
excellence, at any time of the year. RA are expected to enrol in DSM on the project for which they
are recruited, additional requirements may apply to qualify for specific RA depending on the project
and department. The links under the previous paragraph may be used to access offers for RAs.
5.3
Scholarships
Besides the assistantships that are employments within the universities, there are also a number of
attractive fellow- and scholarships available for doctoral students in LSM. The list below is far from
exhaustive, more information can be obtained from the central webpages (e.g
http://www.uclouvain.be/en-recherche-financement.html at UCL) as new opportunities arise,
deadlines change etc.
5.3.1
ICM Fellowship
http://users.belgacombusiness.net/cim.icm/
The Intercollegiate Center for Management Science (ICM or CIM) awards each year doctoral
fellowships in Management Science. The award is granted annually for a period of three years fulltime research. It involves a stay of one year in a foreign university with tuition covered by the
fellowship. Applications are welcome from scholars of all nationalities graduated from a Belgian
university admitted to one of the Doctoral Schools in the field of Management Science. From
2012/13, no new ICM Fellowships will be given in the French-speaking Belgium.
5.3.2
FNRS Doctoral fellowship
Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique http://www.fnrs.be

The National Scientific Research Foundation (FNRS) finances scientists, research programmes and
scientific network activities. In particular, the FNRS fellowship is a two-year financing (tax-free
amount similar to that of a TA-RA above, including social and medical insurance), potentially
renewed once. The FNRS aspirant also gets computer equipment equivalent to the TAs from each
university. The application date is January 1 each year for the next academic year, the necessary
forms are available from the FNRS webpage from about mid-October to mid-January. There will be
a common call for the Acadmie from 2010. The FNRS fellowships are awarded by scientific
commissions that put particular emphasis on the achievements of the candidates in their CV. Note
that the renewal of a FNRS fellowship after two years should be coordinated with the Confirmation
exam, meaning that in practice, the Confirmation should be passed 1.5 year into the programme.
5.3.3
FNRS Special scholarship
The FNRS offers a special doctoral scholarship for one year to eligible candidates that work full-time
outside the universities, wishing to take a year off to finish their dissertation. The special scholarship
covers their net salary for one year. The deadline is February 1 each year for next academic year,
forms and regulations are provided on the webpage http://www.fnrs.be. It should be noted that this
scholarship is rare, 54 of about 1,300 FRS-FNRS doctoral candidates were financed with special
scholarships in French-speaking Belgium in 2007.
5.3.4
FRIA fellowships
The Research Foundation for Industry and Agriculture (FRIA) finances doctoral students with
backgrounds in science, applied sciences (engineering), pharmaceutics, medicine, agronomy,
engineering, veterinary science, dentistry and physiotherapy. Eligible candidates, have a degree from
a Belgian university or equivalent. The scholarship (tax-free, 23.194,80 EUR annually 01/01/2011,
indexed) is given in two tranches, the first for 27 months and the second for maximum 21 months.
5.3.4.1
Application file
Applications for the first scholarship may only be submitted between Sep 1 and 15 each year,
applications for prolongation between Sep 1 and 5. The FRIA scholarship application file should
contain the following elements (see webpage for details):
1. Specific application forms from http://www.frs-fnrs.be/formulaires/login.cfm
2. Project description and the (max 4 year) research plan.
3. Masters or Bachelors project/thesis for the degree of eligibility for the scholarship (see
above).
5.3.4.2
FRIA process
Selected applicants will be invited to an interview where they will have the occasion to present the
project proposal, their methodology and respond to general questions about their scientific and
professional preparation. Letters of recommendation will be obtained from the supervisor and an
additional professor for qualified candidates. In 2009-2010, 144 new FRIA scholarships were
awarded.
5.3.5
FSR-UCL scholarship
In addition to the FNRS fellowships above, the Special Research Fund (FSR) allocates a limited
number of scholarships to the Research Councils of the Belgian universities. The budget (for UCL
about 15 scholarships in total) is allocated both to doctoral candidates and post-doctoral fellows. To
be eligible for a FRS-UCL scholarship, the candidate must submit an application for a FNRS
Fellowship to FRS-FNRS as in Section 5.3.2 above. The Research Council reviews then the
applications not awarded FNRS fellowships. Candidates who were ineligible for administrative
reasons by Feb 1 and thus could not apply may apply directly to the Chairman of the UCL research
council no later than April 15. The decision is announced in July. For details, contact UCL/ADRE.
5.3.6
FIRST Enterprise scholarship
http://recherche-technologie.wallonie.be/fr/menu/ressources/programmes/les-programmesfirst.html
Co-financed by a company located in the Walloon region, the First DEI program awards two-year
scholarships (renewable once) to candidates undertaking a project in partnership with the
sponsoring company and a research center located outside of Belgium which will host the
researcher for a 6 month internship. FIRST is an interesting way to fund a doctoral thesis.
These kinds of project must be submitted when calls are made by the Wallon region, the General
Directorate for Technology, Research and Energy (DGTRE). The university is the owner of the
resulting research. For information, see references at the webpage above.
5.3.7
PRFB Prospective Research for Brussels
http://www.iwoib.irisnet.be/prfb_fr.htm
Candidates (max 30 years. eligible for a doctorate) that are proposing projects within the
programme Prospective Research for Brussels (PRFB) may obtain a fully financed fellowship for 2
+1 year, including overhead expenses for the department and the university. The subjects 2009 are
Mobility (including the use and planning for the port of Brussels, commuting, spatial-economic impact
of mobility in the capital region)
Environment (biodiversity and urban environment)
City and demographic growth (policy, adaptation and impact of population growth, in particular with
respect to infrastructure, public service, real estate, employment)
Economy (informal economy and criminality, social economy: current state and perspectives)
Socio-economic impact of research
The deadline is July 15, documents and forms are available from the webpage above.
5.3.8
DOCTIRIS PhD en entreprise
http://www.innoviris.be/site/indexd3d8.html?page_id=1214
Candidates (any nationality, but not previously in doctoral training in Belgium) that are employed by
a company in Brussels and pursuing a scientific project may be financed by the region BruxellesCapitale. The functioning is similar to the FIRST Enterprise scholarships, for detailed regulations, see
the webpage above.
The deadline is May 15 for projects planned to start in January the following year, specific forms
must be used.
5.3.9
DGCD Mixed doctorate scholarships
http://www.btcctb.org/showpage.asp?iPageID=991
http://www.dgcd.be/en/dgdc/grants/docs_bourses/grants_1_1.html
The Belgian Development Cooperation (DGCD) offers grants for doctoral studies partly in the
country of origin and partly (env 1/3) in Belgium. The programme is particularly aimed at university
staff in the supported country pursuing an established relationship with an academic institution in
Belgium. The scholarship lasts for no more than 4 years, paying a subsistence of 800 EUR/month and
certain move and travel expenses. [An alternative financing for the same target groups is given by
lAgence Universitaire de la Francophonie AUF, see www.auf.org and below].
5.3.9.1
Eligibility criteria
The candidate must satisfy the following criteria:

1. National of one of the countries: Algeria, Benin, Bolivia, Burundi, DR Congo, Ecuador,
Mali, Morocco, Mozambique, Niger, Palestine, Peru, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa,
Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam.
2. No more than 40 years old
3. At least two years professional experience as an instructor, assistant lecturer or researcher
in a university or recognized research institution.
4. Area of research must be accepted by an academic sponsor in Belgium and a local sponsor.
5. For medical specializations; the Acadmies Royales de Mdecine must give their agreement.
5.3.9.2
Process
The DSM Doctoral Bureau may indicate whether the intended area of research is present in LSM,
the approval of a potential supervisor must be obtained prior to application. The application deadline
is March 1, application should be sent to the Cooperation Attach in the local Belgian representation
(Embassy or Consulate).
5.4
Financing of research activities (travel, conference fees, etc)
Some research activities incur direct costs for the doctoral candidates, such as fees for conferences
and external seminars, travel and subsistence for attendance at such events, specialized literature,
software and databases, etc. A number of options are open to fully or partially cover such costs,
some of which are listed below. Although there are exceptions, note that in general a doctoral
candidate cannot rely on funding from the university, faculty or the department for individual
activities, since most research funds are allocated to a center of excellence and/or a supervisor.
5.4.1
The IGLSM Doctoral Research Incentive Programme
The publication and international presentation of LSM research is promoted through the IGLSM
Doctoral Research Incentive Programme that provides travel (or research material) support at the
publication of an IGLSM Working Paper (including CRECIS WP and CORE DP and reprints).
The procedure and forms for the programme are given on the IGLSM webpage under Doctoral
school. The research incentives are limited per year but cumulative and may be claimed, once
allocated, by the introduction of a normal travel reimbursement to the IGLSM. The amount in
2011/12 is 300 EUR.
5.4.2
FNRS international travel support
www.fnrs.be
Researchers presenting work at international scientific conferences may apply for travel support
from FNRS. The reimbursement is at most the cost for the airfare from Belgium to the destination.
Application at a specific form (see webpage or contact secr.gen@frs-fnrs.be) at least 2 months prior
to the date of the event in Europe, 3 months outside of Europe. In addition, FNRS offers also
financing for scientific stays (1-3 months) abroad for doctoral (and post-doctoral) researchers.
Deadline for application: 2 months before the visit. For details and conditions, see the webpage.
5.4.3
IGLSM CEMS Doctoral Course Support
For eligible doctoral students that have applied in due time for FNRS support, a supplement for
travel support and registration for CEMS doctoral course participation may be obtained using a
simple application.
5.4.4
