In the context of the “Framework for the Internationalisation of Doctoral Education” (FRINDOC) project, EUA is launching an open testing phase for the online tool which the project has developed for universities.
The online tool is designed for self-evaluation purposes and should ideally be completed by a designated team that can assess the planning and implementation of internationalisation strategies for doctoral education in their institutions. The tool will enable universities to attain a united picture of strategic goals, capacity and possibilities to implement structures for their particular profile.
All institutions are welcome to test the tool, which is available at: http://frindoctest.eua.be. More...

It has been a busy 12 months for EUA in terms of policy, project and event activities. We take a look back at a selection of EUA activities from the last year.

• Members of the EUA Council for Doctoral Education (EUA-CDE) gather at the Dokuz Eylül University in Izmir, Turkey for a thematic workshop on Outcomes of Doctoral Education – Mindset, Research, Innovation. Every year, EUA-CDE dedicates its annual workshop to a specific theme which it invites EUA-CDE members to consider in detail through a combination of keynote speeches and case-study presentations from individual universities. The 2014 Thematic Workshop developed this format by inviting researchers on doctoral education to present evidence on how outcomes of doctoral education are seen across different disciplines.
