SALZBURG PRINCIPLES (2005)

• Original research is central to the doctorate
• Embedding in institutional policies and strategies
• Importance of diversity
• Doctoral candidates as early stage researchers
• Role of supervision and assessment
• Achieving critical mass
• 3 - 4 years duration
• Promotion of innovative structures
• Increasing mobility
• Ensuring appropriate funding

Increasing mobility: Doctoral programs should seek to offer geographical as well as interdisciplinary and intersectoral mobility and international collaboration within an integrated framework of cooperation between universities and other partners.

Internationalisation Internationalisation strategies should be a tool in increasing the quality in doctoral education and in developing institutional research capacity.

• Internationalisation at home (using the international profile of

the home institution such as international doctoral candidates, staff, events and guest researchers),

• collaborative doctoral programmes (with individual mobility,

such as cotutelle)

• international

joint doctoral programmes (joint, integrated curricula, joint committees and juries, and the joint degree). Doctoral education should include the possibility for mobility experiences.

CLUES FOR SUCCES

TYPES OF MOBILITY (LERU)

7

· Exchange mobility: Students themselves choose to have an experience abroad for a short or longer period

• f time, at a host institution, according to an individual

mobility arrangement between the host and the home

• institution. The prototypical example here is mobility

as funded by the Erasmus programme. · Networked mobility and curricula: One university, a faculty, department or a specific university programme forms a network with several partners. The ‘centre or demanding university’ sends its students for a certain period of time to one or more partner institutions, to follow (part of) their curriculum abroad. · Embedded mobility and curricula: A limited number

• f

partners (faculties, departments, programmes) engage in a consortium (e.g. ‘ring-shaped’), in which students then ‘rotate’ and follow parts of their educational trajectory subsequently in two or more partner institutions, while students of those partner institutions do the same. The curriculum is fully synchronised.

INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES EM Doctoral Programs

FETALMED PhD - Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate in Fetal and Perinatal Medicine It is the first joint doctoral programme in the emerging field of Fetal Medicine, combining science, technology, and innovation to promote a new generation of transdisciplinar researchers who, in association with professionals from others disciplines, are empowered to work and apply solutions in different sectors (academia - Industry).

INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES EM Doctoral Programs

INTERZONES - Cultural Studies in Literary Interzones The purpose of INTERZONES is to prepare gifted doctoral students to become the "global academics" which top universities seek

• ut

in the fields

• f

European comparative literatures and cultural studies, or high-flying consultants in private business sectors interested in global cultural phenomena. By investigating culture with innovative and transcultural methods, global professors are no longer ‘outside’ the socio-economic world, but participants in a social texture that includes complexity.

The goal of doctoral education is to cultivate the research mindset, to nurture flexibility of thought, creativity and intellectual autonomy through an original, concrete research project. It is the practice of research that creates this mindset. Doctoral research must take place in a research environment with doctoral candidates as fellow researchers; this demands that institutions base their strategies for doctoral education on their research capacity, critical mass, diversity, and ability to create inclusive environments that will make doctoral candidates active participants in the on-going research.
