Accreditations to supervise doctoral research

In France, the accreditation to supervise doctoral research (habilitation à diriger des recherches or HDR) is a diploma that "confers official recognition of the high scientific level of the candidate, the originality of his or her approach in a field of science, his or her ability to optimally manage a research strategy in a sufficiently broad scientific or technological field, and his or her ability to supervise young researchers".1 It is the highest academic title in France, earned after obtaining a PhD.
