Goal of the conference

The goal of the conference is to learn from the shared experiences of institutions both in the EU and US on how to engage in the professional development of doctoral graduates and post doctoral staff. The conference will provide innovative ideas and models for inclusion in university strategic plans.
 
The conference will address the challenges posed by such developments in terms of doctoral schools organization, interdisciplinary training, transferable skills learning, recognition of training periods at other academic and non-academic institutions and mutual development and recognition of double degrees and diplomas.
