Doctorates all over Europe
Our speakers have initiated contact with Eurodoc, the pan-European association that advocates for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) across Europe. Representing 26 members in 24 countries, Eurodoc unites national organizations that champion the interests of doctoral researchers and postdoctoral fellows. Through these connections, they collaboratively address the needs and concerns of ECRs, striving to enhance research conditions and opportunities for the next generation of scientific and academic leaders.

20 years of Salzburger principles
The Salzburger Principles, established 20 years ago, set forth guidelines on how a quality doctorate should be structured and pursued. These principles outline the essential elements required for an effective and rigorous doctoral education, ensuring that doctoral programs provide the necessary support, resources, and academic environment for researchers to thrive. The Salzburger Principles were updated in 2010 to reflect the evolving needs and challenges faced by doctoral candidates, incorporating best practices and innovations in higher education. As a result, they continue to serve as a benchmark for excellence in doctoral training and contribute to the ongoing improvement of doctoral programs across Europe and beyond.
