The 'Future of the doctorate' international conference will take place from 28 to 29 May in Riga, Latvia.
The event is organised by the European Commission and will focus on the following questions:
- What is the right balance between the creation of knowledge and wider economic and social objectives?
- What is the right balance between demand and supply of doctoral graduates?
- How to ensure that doctorates are fit for purpose in times of changing research environments and the decrease in permanent academic positions?
- How to balance the need for specialisation with the need to acquire more general employability skills?
- What does this mean for national higher education systems?
