Welcome to the Staff Week: International cooperation in doctoral education: Findings and the way forward

The Staff Week is organized by the University Carlos III de Madrid as part of the Erasmus+ project Joint Programmes at Doctorate Level in a European University Network: Linking Education and Research towards the European Education Area (Link EDU-RES). The event will take place at the Madrid-Puerta de Toledo campus at University Carlos III de Madrid.

The event aims at bringing together and connect deans, advisors, researchers, doctoral candidates, administrative staff, and other university members involved with or interested in the administration and initiation of joint programmes or international cooperation at doctoral level.

We would like to create an opportunity to discuss the vision behind joint programmes and opportunities of international cooperation for both institutions and individuals.

We will also consider the EU opportunities that Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions bring by its Doctoral Networks. Experiences undergone by different international schemes will be presented.

The main findings of interest to doctoral students learned along the project will be discussed. Steps and stops on the way to joint doctoral education as well as insights into the reality of doctoral research in more than one institution will be at the focus.

The Link EDU-RES project is co-financed by the Erasmus + program of the European Union.
