Eurodoc 2010: "Stocktaking and Prospects: Doctoral Training and Research – the Link between EHEA and ERA" March 11-15, 2010, Vienna. Each year in spring, Eurodoc convenes to a international conference for young researchers. The aim of the Eurodoc conference is to provide the framework for young European researchers to meet with European political and economical leaders and to engage in a fruitful discussions on the construction of the European Research and Higher Education Areas. Moreover, given the participation of young researchers from all over Europe and from multiple disciplines, the Eurodoc conference constitutes a unique occasion for interdisciplinary communication and networking. 2010 marks a major date in the Higher Education (HE) policy – the ministers responsible for HE will present a communiqué on the future of the Bologna process in Vienna (on March 12). This celebration will be accompanied by meetings of the major stakeholders in HE policy – EUA, ESU and Eurodoc. We invite the delegates and other young researchers from Eurodoc member organisations to join the discussions in Vienna at the Eurodoc 2010 conference and the subsequent General Meeting of Eurodoc! The conference webpage is now online - please consult http://eurodoc2010.doktorat.at for further information! We welcome sponsors who want to address young researchers from all over Europe as well as key policy makers in the European Higher Education and Research Areas. We offer fairly varied sponsorship opportunities ranging from small advertisements in conference materials to your presence on a stand at the conference. Do not hesitate to get in contact with the organising committee at

Young researchers, doctoral candidates play a key role in the elaboration of a knowledge society in Europe. In order to achieve the ambitious Lisbon objectives, Europe needs to increase the number of researchers. Doctoral training as research training thus is a cornerstone for reaching these goals.
Moreover, young researchers not only pursue a career in research,
teaching, science communication but as well increasingly aim for
positions in innovation, development, consulting and progressive
industry. In this context, there is a need for fostering and being
aware of complimentary skills, acquired mostly by research practice it
self, in a team-oriented approach.
Many doctoral candidates
in Europe are not properly integrated in the scientific community. In
particular scholarship holders and persons who have to finance their
research project on their own funds or work on part time basis are
often not treated as valued members of the research institution.
It
has to be broadly recognised that doctoral candidates contribute to an
considerable amount to the scientific output of their research
institution. Universities have to discern this potential and aim to
raise the awareness of doctoral candidates being professionals, early
stage researchers with commensurate rights.
Throughout Europe, many doctoral candidates work on their dissertation quite isolated or in a closed research group. Both doctoral candidates themselves and in consequence their research institution would profit from increased scientific communication and exchange among young researchers. In this way, the research institution should seek to overcome obsolete traditional apprentenship-like relations.

Inspired by an article on open access on doctoral theses [8], here are some few investigations on current movements in the policy field lobbying open access scientific publications. This is a (certainly incomplete) first summary on the topic, its
occurrence in European policy and its relevance to young researchers. |
