EUA Council for Doctoral Education

The CDP provides a unique opportunity for HEIs/universities to tap into the JRC’s robust research capacity and expertise while gaining a deeper understanding of research needs throughout the European policy cycle. The CDP promotes mutual enhancement of related skills and competences, combines existing knowledge and capacities, and enhances networking in key scientific areas. 

This ultimately provides high-quality policy-oriented research opportunities for doctoral candidates and equips them to navigate the science-policy interface. 

The application deadline is 18 March, 23.59 (CET) and the application form is available at this page.

The results of the call will be announced by 1 April 2025, so as to consecutively define the doctoral project, sign the collaboration agreement and recruit the doctoral candidates by the start of the academic year.
