As a representative of doctoral candidates and junior researchers at the European level, the European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers (Eurodoc), a grassroots federation of 25 national associations of early-career researchers (ECRs) from 23 countries across Europe, engages with all major stakeholders in research and innovation in Europe.
The evolving landscape of research and research careers, both within and beyond academia, underscores the crucial role of research education in shaping both academia and society at large. To meet the changing roles and expectations of doctoral education, Eurodoc has developed the new statement in a working group with involvement of doctoral candidates and recent doctoral graduates from across Europe.
