On April 17, 2025
Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA), a long-standing partner of the region's major research infrastructures, is stepping up its scientific collaboration through the GATES (Grenoble ATtractiveness and ExcellenceS) project. This ambitious program aims to develop excellent research projects and strengthen Grenoble's attractiveness as a scientific hub of international stature. As part of this program, the UGA plans to supervise more than 70 doctoral theses between now and 2032, under joint supervision with ESRF (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility), ILL (Institut Laue-Langevin), EMBL (European Molecular Biology Laboratory), EMFL (European Magnetic Field Laboratory) and IRAM (Institut de Radioastronomie Millimétrique). Already, 15 doctoral contracts have been launched following two calls for IRGA (Initiatives de Recherche à Grenoble Alpes) projects. Find out more about the winners!

The GATES project strengthens collaboration with the ILL. UGA and ILL already maintain strong ties through research partnerships and training programs. This cooperation fosters research and innovation, particularly in the fields of materials science, structural biology, chemistry, and nuclear and particle physics.
As part of the GATES project, an annual call for co-supervised PhD theses is launched. Formerly known as IRGA, the call is now titled GATES@UGA PhD and is announced and shared with laboratories in the fall. It allows research pairs (UGA–Large Instrument) to submit an application consisting of a research project. The selection results are published in the spring, with the PhD work beginning in the last quarter of the year.
This project is supported by funding from the French government, managed by the National Research Agency under the Investments for the Future program, reference number ANR-22-EXES-0001.
