An European initiative aims to make 13 May the "European Doctoral Day" – a day to highlight the vital role of doctoral education and the impact of doctoral graduates as key agents of innovation. A day to recognize their role in helping society navigate a rapidly changing world and in shaping Europe’s scientific, economic, industrial, and technological future.
European Doctoral Day is designed to:
- Inspire European and international students to pursue doctoral education,
- Increase employers’ awareness and recognition of doctoral qualifications,
- Showcase the diverse career paths and societal contributions of doctoral graduates.
The initiative launched in 2026 and set to become an annual event. Many universities across Europe are hosting events for this first edition. You can find a wide range of Events on the following Website
