The second step takes place today with the other mechanics laboratories of North France.
You are finally ranking first and you will be proposed for an "excellence grant" at the university of Lille 1. The final step will be on next week (2nd june) with the interranking between the different domains of the Engineering Science School.
So very good news, the confirmation will certainly be on next week.
今天收到了那个已经退休的Prof. Van的回复：
I know Eric very well because he was my former PhD Student and a collaborator of mine when I was still in activity. I think it would be a very good choice for you. Moreover, Lille is a very pleasant city.
You have obtained a grant from the University of Lille for a 3 years PhD under the supervision of Professor Philippe and myself.
You will receive in the next days an official announce.
Can you simply confirm your coming?
The grant begins on october 1st with the beginning of the academic year. However, it is certainly possible to find french courses during the summer if you want to prepare your coming in France. Are you interesting in? Is it compatible with your actual activities? What could be the closest arrival day in France for you?
It will be a great pleasure to work together on fatigue and thermomechanical couplings topics.
