Since the reorganisation of RFF’s research structure in 2009, the company has decided to encourage, for the implementation of its various research projects, the hosting of PhD students within its facilities.

Three PhD students are already on assignment at RFF and others are expected to follow in the coming months.

PhD research work benefits both the company and students working on their thesis: this is the major benefit of this unique professional immersion scheme, which lasts several years.
