Introducing ADUM (Accès Doctorat Unique et Mutualisé)

Accès Doctorat Unique et Mutualisé is an internal information, services and communication portal for doctoral students and doctors. The portal is shared by all doctoral schools, and adapts to their needs. The network is used by over 100,000 doctoral students, 157 doctoral schools and 79 institutions.

ADUM was originally (1999) the brainchild of a group of young doctoral students in Montpellier who wanted to create a directory of doctoral students. Its initial aim was to create a network of doctoral students from the same doctoral school, as a gateway to employment. The aim was also to promote the research community as a whole, and give greater visibility to the skills profiles of graduates. Today, ADUM is a management and communication tool, a collaborative tool and an online community.

Below you'll find all the services offered by ADUM to doctoral students, doctoral schools and companies.
