By stressing the importance of improving the process of European cultural integration within a scientific context increasingly oriented towards the internationalization of training and research standards, the European Ph.D. initiative aims to go beyond the organization of doctoral studies at the national level, both in terms of regulations, financing and quality of curriculum.
European standards have been already achieved for:
- candidate selection;
- training of participants from different nationalities;
- research activity and training in an international environment;
- intensive didactic ‘stages’ in multilingual and multicultural settings
- adoption of specifically designed schema of structured training;
- language policy and format for Ph.D. dissertation;
- evaluation of the entire training process and quality system;
- formal recognition of the degree and award of joint diploma.
