CSDP Doctoral School, June 2017

The European Doctoral School on CSDP is an initiative launched in 2017 by volunteer institutions and the ESDC to develop a range of training and provide support for doctoral research on the CSDP in the EU. Its objective is to develop a critical mass of scientific and academic expertise that brings together supervisors and mentors and promotes the exchange of knowledge, skills and competences on European security and defence with a view to providing support for PhD level research reflecting on the CSDP. It offers a specialized training program supplementary to the courses organized by its network institutions in their doctoral curricula.

The SQF-MILOF seeks to provide Member States with a cross-referencing tool for military qualifications so that qualifications awarded in one Member State can be compared with similar qualifications awarded in another Member State. Development of the SQF-MILOF is being carried out by a dedicated ad-hoc working group (SQF-MILOF WG) composed of national representatives, which convenes under the auspices of the ESDC and acts in close coordination with the EUMS.

This ambitious initiative aims at creating and including in their curricula modules on EU history, EU core values, Lisbon Treaty, CSDP, sharing best practices, the exchanges between military school’s pupils as well as their teachers and instructors. Schools can enhance critical awareness of “Europe” and turn young Europeans into informed European citizens engaged in the democratic processes that shape the future of the EU. In line with the European Parliament resolution of 12 April 2016 and the Council Recommendation of 22 May 2018 , the EUMSS Forum promotes the sharing of common European values from an early age and fosters a European dimension of teaching.
