1. EUA Report on Collaborative Doctoral Education
The European University Association (EUA) recently announced the completion of a two-year study to build dialogue with and amongst those engaged in collaborative doctoral education. The DOC-CAREERS report underlines that collaborative doctoral (PhD) programmes, established between universities and industry, are becoming increasingly important across Europe. The study “Collaborative Doctoral Education: University-Industry Partnerships for Enhancing Knowledge Exchange” involved 33 universities, 31 companies, and 18 other stakeholder organisations, from 20 different countries across Europe. It highlights that both universities and business consider collaborative doctoral programmes as important channels for supporting both innovation and recruitment efforts.
