Franco-German ABG-FGU cooperation

The Association Bernard Gregory (ABG) works to bring doctoral graduates and potential employers together.

The cooperation between the Association Bernard Gregory (ABG) and the Franco-German University (FGU) aims to help and support French and German PhD students and PhD holders before and after they start their working life, and also during their careers. This support from the ABG includes an online job portal for recruiters and candidates as well as a database of CVs, covering a wide range of disciplines and job offers from all over the world. The ABG assists young researchers and prepares them for their future careers with specific training programmes.

DocPro brings PhD graduates and employers together

DocPro is an online platform that allows PhD holders to maximise and market their professional and personal skills to employers at different stages of their careers, whatever their field of research – from theoretical physics to humanities and social sciences.
