AUTHORIZATION TO CONDUCT RESEARCH (HDR)

The Habilitation à diriger des recherches (HDR) is a national higher education diploma that can be obtained after a doctorate. Habilitation is the highest university qualification a person can receive and corresponds to the highest level of French diplomas.

Regulation

This diploma allows you to apply for a position as a university professor (after registration on the qualification list by the National Council of Universities), to be a thesis director or chosen as a thesis rapporteur. It is also highly recommended to apply for the positions of research director of public scientific and technological institutions. HDR is defined by regulation in the decree of 23 November 1988 (amended in 1992, 1995 and 2002).
