The League of European Research Universities (LERU) will present its new advice paper “Maintaining a quality culture in doctoral education at research-intensive universities” during a breakfast launch event in Brussels on 15 March 2016.

The result is a paper full of practical examples from the LERU universities on how they define expectations for high quality doctoral education, how they set up scrutiny processes, how they use indicators to measure quality and how they build in feedback mechanisms to enhance a quality culture.
