It's a scandal.
I have a friend who works there, I will inquire.
But my understanding is that each department head there makes their own rules; I know that several departments there run their sites on FLOSS and would not tolerate such a thing.

Hello,
there is nothing new in this message. But it makes me mad. I may be on the wrong list for this, but I apologize.
here is a message I received from the École Doctorale de Sciences Mathématiques de Paris Centre, when applying for grants for doctoral studies.
The french ministry wants documents in 'Word' format.
- nothing in written format,
- nothing in other formats.
I think this is not legal, in regard of the french law.
Sincerely yours,
Guillaume Yziquel.

Par ailleurs, serait-il possible que vous me communiquiez la fiche SIREDO sous un autre format que les fichiers Word ? (Sinon, c'est pas grave, mais ça sera probablement moins joli, et ça prendra beaucoup plus de temps).
Non, malheureusement, nous devons rendre les fiches remplies a l'ED dans ce format. Vous devrez donc me faire parvenir les fichiers demandes avant la fin du mois.
Merci. A bientot. Cordialement. Michele WASSE

I do not think it is the responsibility of the école doctorale, but of the french ministry of national education, research and tecgnology. It is the ministry's requirements.
Could inquiries be postponed one month later, the time for my grant proposal to be processed ? I just wanted to bring a testimony, for whom it may concern.
But my understanding is that each department head there makes their own rules; I know that several departments there run their sites on FLOSS and would not tolerate such a thing.
It is not the departments who can have influence over this. Only the ministry.
The problem is not that such a thing would be tolerated, but that, since the école doctorale is an official administration of the french state, such a thing would be illegal.

Guillaume Yziquel.
