The European University Association’s Council for Doctoral Education (EUA-CDE) is inviting applications from member universities to host key events in 2026 and 2027.
Launched in 2008, EUA-CDE is now the largest European network in doctoral education and research training, covering more than 280 universities and institutions working in this field across 39 countries.
We are looking for EUA-CDE member universities that can partner with us to make our next events a memorable experience, while gaining international visibility for their own institution. This call covers two established events for the European higher education and research community, namely the EUA-CDE Annual Meeting and the EUA-CDE Thematic Workshop.
