From my ADUM account, I see all the possible actions under the 'Procedures' scheme, among which this one. ED EOBE - Ed_eobe@universite-paris-saclay.fr After a detailed discussion with my PhD supervisor, I fill all the fields present here and in the following pages about the thesis title, the thesis summary, the jury composition and so on. And so on. In case of any doubt and/or question, discuss with your PhD supervisor. Of course required. The CNU section: http://www.cpcnu.fr/listes-des-sections-cnu (CNU = Conseil National des Universités, ie national-French university council) From there, you will have to print the defense documents after their validation from the doctoral school, make signed them by every people involved (PhD supervisor, ...) and bring them at the Ecole doctorale appointment.
