This article is in line with studies of design research as a lever for organizational transformation. More specifically, it identifies an initial framework on the specificities of the CIFRE PhD program in the field of design, a program that is increasingly used to support doctoral research in design. Through this collective work, the authors, who have also had experience of this program, wish to increase the visibility of those who are at the center of it (the doctoral students), in order to think about ways of adapting the CIFRE PhD program in design. By building on the experience of 19 doctoral students in design, the article highlights four main categories of concerns that open up perspectives for the design research community and organizations: the space given to design as a discipline within the experience, the importance of making the thesis malleable, managing day-to-day temporalities, and the motivations behind CIFRE PhD programs in design.
