FROM Innovative Doctoral Training to Enhanced Career Opportunities

Objective

The project "From Innovative Doctoral Training to Enhanced Career Opportunities" (DOC-CAREERS) has been conceived as a ground-breaking project to explore the relations between doctoral training programmes and the career development and employability prospects for doctoral candidates. DOC-CAREERS will investigate issues that are central to the European Commission's Human Resources and Mobility Actions focusing on relations of various models of doctoral training in Europe and employability of doctoral candidates in multiple careers and different sectors. Four main issues will be studied: -the development of transferable skills and competences in doctoral programmes to enhance employability and career perspectives in private and public sectors; -the nature and extent of university and industry collaboration in doctoral programmes; -mobility strategies for career development (cross-border inter-institutional collaboration and inter-sectorial mobility); -the requirements for more systematic collection of data at the university level to provide the basis for analysis of doctoral candidates' career paths. Within the context of the Lisbon and Barcelona objectives, it is crucial to prepare young researchers for careers in industry, broadly defined, and to open career development paths between private and public sectors by providing high quality research training. The project will seek to identify, therefore, examples of good practices in currently evolving new structures of doctoral training in Europe and highlight the necessary conditions for providing better career perspectives for doctoral candidates. The main outcomes of the project will be presented in general recommendations to be debated at the university institutional level and through the appropriate policy making practitioner channels.
