The EUA Council for Doctoral Education is inviting applications from member universities to host below events in 2024 and 2025. We are looking for EUA-CDE member universities to help us continue to make the EUA-CDE events a memorable experience for our members and stakeholders, while gaining visibility for their own institution.
EUA-CDE Thematic Workshop
The EUA-CDE Thematic Workshop is open exclusively to EUA-CDE members and offers them an interactive platform to establish and intensify partnerships and to collaborate and exchange practices related to current trends and future challenges in doctoral education.
EUA-CDE Annual Meeting
The EUA-CDE Annual Meeting is the largest and most comprehensive European gathering on doctoral education and research training. It is an opportunity to build new partnerships and exchange practices and interact with European and national policy makers, funding organisations, quality assurance agencies, global partners and other relevant stakeholders.
The deadline for submission of bids for the 2024 and/or 2025 EUA-CDE events is 28 February 2023.
Applications need to be submitted by the EUA-CDE member universities. There is a preference to organise EUA-CDE events at the university’s premises. EUA-CDE takes into account geographic balance in deciding upon the location of its events, as well as ease of access.
Guidelines with the specific requirements and conditions to host these events are available via the links below.
