The Institutional Repository (IR) is an institutional archive whose aim is to contain, promote and preserve all the university's scientific output. An institutional mandate obliges researchers to deposit their research results, theses and dissertations there. All public elements of this research are accessible to the scientific community as well as to the general public on the Research Portal.

Search results repository

Implemented on the basis of PURE© software, the DI contains all research results, activities, projects, research platforms and theses and dissertations produced at the institution.

Submission of thesis or dissertation

The Institutional Mandate makes the online deposit of defended theses mandatory and conditional upon graduation. Depositing dissertations online offers several advantages:

  • More visibility and value thanks to institutional deposit
  • Long-term preservation
  • Greater visibility for your work thanks to Open Access.
