In consultation with its board, the I-MEP² Doctoral School proposes the following practices:
Case A: Thesis co-supervised by a researcher from a "university / research unit / research organization" not affiliated to the I-MEP2 Doctoral School and external to the Alpine sites (co-directed or cotutelle thesis).
The thesis is supervised by a thesis director (HDR from the I-MEP² Doctoral School), a co-director (HDR or equivalent) from the partner university/research unit/research organization, and a maximum of 2 co-supervisors (HDR or not).
Case B: Thesis prepared exclusively in a university/research unit/research organization attached to the I-MEP² Doctoral School (UGA or USMB thesis)The thesis is supervised by a thesis director (HDR from the I-MEP² ED) and, if necessary, co-supervisors (HDR or not), up to a maximum of 3.

Thesis follow-up and defense
In addition to the usual supervisory tasks relating to the "research" part of the PhD, thesis supervisors must :
- set up Individual Follow-up Committees (CSI) and ensure that the CSI report is submitted to the I-MEP² Doctoral School (mandatory for each re-registration).
- guarantee that the information sent to the I-MEP² Doctoral School concerning the thesis jury and the status of jury members (employer, HDR or non-HDR, grade) is correct. Any non-compliant jury may invalidate the thesis diploma.
