As part of the Labex EFL International Chair call, a dozen professors or high-level researchers with an international reputation, specialized in one of Labex’s research fields, can be awarded an annual Labex EFL Chair. The recipients of the Chair are welcomed by one of Labex’s partner teams for 4 weeks and can enjoy the environment. They participate in the life of this team or Labex labs during the duration of their stay and may be asked to interact with doctoral candidates Labex EFL. They provide a weekly two-hour doctoral seminar on a research topic that contributes significantly to the EFL project.
Since 2012, 55 professors have benefited from a Labex EFL Chair:
