European Round Table at UNIL tackled Joint Doctoral Programmes European Round Table at UNIL tackled Joint Doctoral Programmes ================================================================ CIVIS Highlights 23 iunie 2025 Representatives from three European Universities alliances met at the annual conference of the European University Association – Council for Doctoral Education (EUA-CDE), to discuss the future of joint doctoral programmes. As part of the meeting, the University of Lausanne hosted a round table to discuss European doctoral collaborations. ![](/storage/files/l1011006.jpg) Prof. François Bussy, Dre Léa Moreau Shmatenko, Prof. Rebecca Sauer, Prof. Monika Baar / Photo © Shervine Nafissi This year's EUA-CDE meeting reflected on two decades of progress and achievements in doctoral education, while looking ahead to new horizons in an ever-evolving society. Topics included the impact of current geopolitical developments on research, with particular attention to knowledge security and dual-use research in an increasingly complex world. Conversations also highlighted the importance of doctoral programmes for Europe’s economic and technological competitiveness, touching on how policy changes such as institutional autonomy and research assessment reforms are shaping the future landscape of doctoral education. > *Training in research is not just about individual achievement - it is about making a difference together. Doctoral education equips researchers with the critical thinking skills, creativity and expertise needed to tackle today’s most pressing challenges. Whether in addressing the climate crisis, advancing medical breakthroughs, or shaping public policy, PhD candidates play an essential role in producing the knowledge and solutions that the world depends on"*, stated Frédéric Herman, the Rector of the University of Lausanne. The University of Lausanne hosted a round table attended by over a hundred participants to discuss European doctoral collaborations. Three speakers from university alliances active in this field shared their experiences: - Prof. Monika Baar, European University Institute (EUI), representing CIVICA Alliance - Prof. Rebbeca Sauer, University of Zurich (UZH), representing UNA EUROPA - Dre Léa Moreau, University of Lausanne (UNIL), representing CIVIS Alliance The discussion, moderated by Prof. François Bussy, focused on several key questions: 1. What flagship initiatives have been implemented to support doctoral collaboration within these alliances? 2. How can a joint doctoral programme be defined beyond bilateral co-supervision agreements, and what legal barriers need to be overcome? 3. What funding model could ensure the sustainability of such programmes at the European level? 4. What added value do joint programmes offer to the doctoral candidates involved? At the intersection of academic, institutional, and political issues, this discussion highlighted the structuring role that European alliances can play in the internationalization of doctoral studies, resource sharing, and the broadening of training pathways for early-career researchers. **Details avilable in UNIL's [original story, in French](https://www.unil.ch/news/fr/1749581332595).** ### Latest Highlights: [*Stockholm Declaration on Chemistry for the Future, launched during the Nobel Symposium*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/stockholm-declaration-chemistry-future-launched-during-nobel-symposium) [*University of Salzburg founds international Stefan Zweig centre*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/university-of-salzburg-founds-international-stefan-zweig-centre) [*The “Health City of the Community of Madrid” coming to life with UAM* ](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/the-health-city-of-the-community-of-madrid-coming-to-life-with-uam) [*700 books for the library of the Université Amadou-Mahtar M'Bow in Dakar, offered by ULB*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/700-books-for-the-library-of-the-universite-amadou-mahtar-m-bow-in-dakar-offered-by-ulb) [*Social Media reshapes news consumption in Eastern Europe, new study finds*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/social-media-reshapes-news-consumption-in-eastern-europe-new-study-finds) Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/unil-march-800x600.jpg?token=d8f751c5dd64924dd2e37edbb187d325)The Swiss ski mountaineering team, supported by UNIL's researchers for this year's Olympic Games CIVIS Highlights 3 martie 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/the-swiss-ski-mountaineering-team-supported-by-unil-s-researchers-for-this-year-s-olympic-games) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/post-it-risks-800x600.jpg?token=3f32ba7f3ab0220e88eeac41defdd8bf)Innovative micro-credential for professionals on AI for the workplace launched by CIVIS Learn 10 februarie 2026 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/civis-micro-credentials-ai-and-work-supporting-teams-through-change) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/img-4583-800x600.jpg?token=9b1616d14128b09af2bc51cc05d57631)UNIL empowers master’s students to co-create research with partners in the field abroad CIVIS Highlights 17 octombrie 2025 ](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/unil-empowers-master-s-students-to-co-create-research-with-partners-in-the-field-abroad) [Descoperiți toate articolele noastre](https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom) [ Future in the making: European students shape policy at ESA25 in Strasbourg ](< https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/future-in-the-making-european-students-shape-policy-at-esa25-in-strasbourg >) [ CIVIS universities sign Memorandum of Understanding on sharing research infrastructures ](< https://civis.eu/ro/the-civis-newsroom/civis-alliance-signs-memorandum-of-understanding-sharing-research-infrastructures >) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
