Visiting DCS
Becoming a guest researcher
Foreign researchers wishing to be welcomed by Droit et Changement Social (DCS) - UMR CNRS 6297 for their research, and to get the "researcher-talent' visa, must fill out a form for their demand. [currently being translated]
Once these documents have been submitted, the DCS laboratory will review the application and, if approved, extend an invitation. A hosting agreement will then be prepared and sent to the researcher.
If your application is accepted, other documents will be needed:
- proof of health insurance, workers' compensation, liability insurance, and disability insurance (in case of disability)
- repatriation insurance
- proof of housing for the entire duration of the stay
Under no circumstances does the DCS laboratory’s hosting of a researcher give rise to any obligation—particularly of a financial nature—on the part of the DCS laboratory or Nantes University.
