We would like to inform you that the European University Association (EUA) is carrying out a study on the organisation of doctoral education in Europe.

The European University Association (EUA) is carrying out a study on the organisation of doctoral education in Europe. The outcomes of the study will inform future activities of EUA and its Council for Doctoral Education (EUA-CDE), which brings together a community of academic leaders and doctoral education professionals from more than 230 universities in over 30 countries.

The survey is open to all universities across Europe. Please note that your answer should reflect your institution’s perspective on doctoral education. For this reason, only one response per institution will be used. Should you feel that you are not the right person to fill out the survey, we ask that you forward this invitation to a colleague who you consider able to answer the survey on behalf of your institution.

To preview the survey before filling it out online, please find HERE a PDF version to help you collect the answers.

We are happy to invite you to take part in the study by answering an online survey, which you can access by using the following LINK. The deadline to complete the survey is 31 January 2018.

EUA ensures the confidential treatment of the data. All data received from the questionnaire will be published in aggregate form only. Individual answers will remain anonymous and cannot be traced back to your institution. However, we will mention your institution as a contributor to this study.

Should you encounter technical difficulties or have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the EUA-CDE Secretariat on info@eua-cde.org.
