Below you will find a selection of key EUA publications concerning doctoral education. They are the result of projects and events organised by EUA since 2003 when doctoral education was defined, in the Bologna Process, as the third cycle of higher education. A large number of universities from different European countries actively took part in the projects and contributed to the contents of the reports and to the recommendations. The objective of the Council for Doctoral Education is to continue preparing publications on current developments of doctoral education that could help its member institutions to develop and implement good practices.
