* Paul Cézanne Aix Marseille III University (FRANCE) (coordinator)
* KSOP (Karlsruhe School of Optics & Photonics) : KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) (GERMANY)
* Barcelona Universities (SPAIN) :
o UPC – Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya
o ICFO – Institute of Photonic Sciences
o UB – Universitat de Barcelona
o UAB – Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona

The EuroPhotonicsEMJDDoctorate program addresses, in the laboratories of the consortium below, the coming challenges in Photonics Engineering, Nanophotonics and Biophotonics. This doctorate program is based on a consortium of excellence research institutes and universities in the field, which goal is to involve co-tutelle doctorate students in cutting-edge research projects profiting from the complementarity between the partners, as well as a wide range of research training and teaching plans that includes fundamental and general sciences, technology, languages and communication, research and industrial management, technology transfer, career exploratory support, international meetings, workshops and conference participation.
