EUA-CDE Workshop on Regional Engagement and Doctoral Education

On 22-23 January, around 80 delegates gathered in Marseille at Aix-Marseille University for the 8th EUA-CDE thematic workshop to discuss the role universities play in developing their regions. The event was based on the premise that, as well as ensuring local employers have a pool of skilled candidates who can facilitate an exchange of knowledge with society, universities are also in a good position to establish initiatives and dialogue with regional authorities.
Finally, the workshop also formed part of the consultation process of the new EUA-CDE policy initiative, The Shape of Things to Come, which is identifying the challenges doctoral education will likely face in the future and examining how it can be used to help develop universities and society at large. The policy document will be published in 2016.
The presentations from the 8th EUA-CDE Workshop are now available here. More...
