Chairing the commission, prof. Ivica Puljak Ph.D. summarized the applicant's significant scientific path to fulfilling conditions for obtaining the highest academic degree. Enrolled in an international dual doctorate (cotutelle) since 2016, for the preparation of which she was awarded a scholarship by the French government, Marina Prvan is working as an assistant at FESB and participates in projects collaborating with CERN.

 

Prof. Claude Charlot Ph.D. expressed his satisfaction with the application’s academic success, and pointed out how important the nearly twenty years long fruitful cooperation between his home institution, the Institut Polytechnique, and FESB is. As current visiting professor in the said faculty, he is particularly pleased with the opportunity to monitor closely the scientific growth of his doctoral students in Split.

The defense of Marina Prvan’s  dual French-Croatian doctorate ads to the list of Croatian students with a degree from the prestigious Polytechnique Institute (Ivica Puljak, Roko Pleština, Marko Kovač, Toni Šćulac).
