Working with a laboratory

Schemes as described by the bodies that run them. CEEVO does not give tax advice: the conditions are set out in the official pages.

• Hiring a PhD student: the Cifre agreement

  The employer hires a master's-level graduate on a permanent or fixed-term contract and entrusts them with a research assignment, the subject of their thesis, supervised by an academic laboratory. ANRT, which runs the scheme for the ministry, pays the employer an annual grant of €14,000.

  ANRT, official page

• Research tax credit (CIR), innovation tax credit (CII), young innovative company status (JEI)

  The conditions and rates in force are those given on the official Service Public Entreprendre pages (in French).
