Is anybody who is involved in #DoctoralEducation able to point me towards a similar report or study on the UK knowledge society, maybe by #UKCGE or similar?

This one is on the European context👇🏼

I spent 26 hours in the hands of UK Council for Graduate Education at their annual Doctoral Deans and Directors residential on Thursday and Friday.

We listened to experts and talked through approaches to everything from quality assurance to harassment and sexual misconduct (and I volunteered to help at a session for colleagues new to the network/role).

Made a lot of friends and learnt so much.

I'm planning an event on 'The Future of the Doctorate' (will update here asap).

In the meantime, what are your views on its future, given all that's happening?

2025 marks the 20th anniversary of the Salzburg Principles – a cornerstone of doctoral education in Europe 🎓

The EUA Council for Doctoral Education (#EUACDE) has launched a survey on achievements, policies & emerging trends in #DoctoralEducation 📝 https://www.eua.eu/our-work/get-involved/call-for-participation-2025-eua-cde-survey-doctoral-education-in-europe-today-achievements-policies-and-emerging-trends.html

Open to EUA & EUACDE members until 1 March.

I couldn’t agree more on the topic of mandatory training for supervisors (and not because we’ve had that here for as long as I remember): it provides a basic level of assurance and support to new supervisors of our postgraduate researchers.

(The full report also points to the value of team supervision and the time pressure supervisors are feeling which I could also comment on at length!)

Not really about unionisation, more about cost-benefit analysis of postgraduate research and graduate schools. There’s a different version of this going on in UK institutions… #phd #PostgraduateResearch #gradschool #DoctoralEducation #HigherEducation

I’m seeking recommendations for PhD programs. My masters level graduate work is focused on #posthumanism, and I have extensive experience in #CommunityDevelopment. For my doctoral research I’d like to merge the two fields to re-imagine how we do and be #community in the #Anthropocene. I’m looking for a program that is pretty self-directed and ideally offers opportunities for independent studies. I’m just starting this search process from scratch.

All suggestions welcome!
