New EUA-CDE publication: Building the Foundations of Research – a Vision for the Future of Doctoral Education in Europe

29 June 2022

Last week, the EUA Council for Doctoral Education has released a new publication entitled “Building the Foundations of Research - a Vision for the Future of Doctoral Education in Europe” that identifies new perspectives in doctoral education and provides guidance to European universities for the development of further strategies in this area.

The result of extensive consultations and insights gained from the ongoing work of EUA-CDE, this document sets out a vision for the future of doctoral education in Europe in the coming decade.

This document analyses intrinsic and extrinsic drivers that shape the future of doctoral education in Europe and suggests possible ways forward for universities to meet current and future challenges in this key area. It also serves as a source of reflection for universities that wish to keep their strategies and processes up to date in a fast-changing world.
