LERU’s view on holistic doctoral supervision
Supervision of doctoral researchers is a central aspect of doctoral education, which is a core activity of universities, especially research-intensive ones. Doctoral researchers are key to advancing research within universities, and the global recognition of the doctoral degree reflects the unique and vitally important role of universities in society.

The Graduate Academy supports doctoral supervisors who wish to establish new frameworks for cooperative supervising in their research groups.
There are different ways in which to establish new educational and research structures for doctoral candidates and postdocs.
