The Doctoral School (ED) 509 is an interdisciplinary school founded in 2008 and includes fields related to “Comparative Euro-Mediterranean Civilisations and Societies”, one of the central interdisciplinary areas of research of the University’s scientific strategy. ED 509 is made up of five research units from the University of Toulon’s humanities and social sciences (Law, Economics, Management, Literature, Humanities as well as Information and Communication Sciences).
This interdisciplinary doctoral school includes eight research units from the University of Toulon’s Faculty of Sciences and Technology. The school encourages all scientific approaches dealing with Marine Science that have strong potential. In addition, the school also supports research activities that don’t necessarily have a relationship with the sea, but are nevertheless coherent with the University’s scientific strategy : Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Automation, Life Sciences and Environmental Sciences.
