Eurodoc Survey on the Situation of Doctoral Candidates in Europe

16 Jan 2009


EURODOC – the European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers – is conducting a Europe-wide survey of doctoral researchers. Within this framework, a group of young volunteers has set up a Europe-wide online survey. The results of this survey will help EURODOC in its efforts to improve the training and research conditions of doctoral researchers. The term “doctoral researcher” is used as a synonym for doctoral candidates, doctoral students, aspirants, PhD-students etc. This is the first survey of its kind and roughly 100,000 European doctoral researchers will be asked to take part in this study. The survey will be conducted in Austria, Belgium, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, FYR Macedonia, Moldova, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Turkey, and Ukraine. All other European countries are welcome to participate as well. For a successful survey, we need your participation. The questionnaire will take about 30 minutes to complete and contains questions about your background, career path, funding, training and supervision, working conditions, academic work, mobility, future prospects and socio-demographic indicators.
