Doctoral Programmes (DKs)
Doctoral Programmes "form centres of education for highly qualified young scientists/scholars from the Austrian and international scientific community" (…) "[and] support centres of excellence at Austrian research institutions." (FWF)
Institutions of higher education in Europe have long supported structured doctoral programmes (cf. Salzburg Principles, EUA 2005 and Salzburg II Recommendations, EUA, 2010) because they offer doctoral students close ties to scientific and scholarly communities as well as close guidance by a team of advisors, thereby ensuring a high-quality doctoral education.
