The EUA Council for Doctoral Education (EUA-CDE) was launched in 2008 at the initiative of the European University Association and has been leading in defining policy and strengthening of doctoral education in Europe. EUA-CDE has played a key role in developing the concept framework for the development of doctoral education in the European educational area and is now the largest European network in this field, covering more than 260 universities and institutions in 36 countries.
The EUA-CDE membership provides the East European University with invaluable opportunities to support the internationalization and development of doctoral education and research.
