EURODOC
Encyclopedia : E : EU : EUR : EURODOC
Created in 2001 and legally established in 2005 in Brussels, Eurodoc [(www.eurodoc.net)] is the European federation of national organisations of young researchers. Young researchers are these researchers currently undertaking their doctorate (Ph.D. or Doctoral candidates, Early-Stage Researchers) or PhD holders employed on a temporary basis as the next step of their research career (Postdoctoral researchers, postdocs). As a Non-profit organisation, Eurodoc monitors the situation of young researchers in Europe with respect to different parameters (e.g. Academic mobility), issues policy statements, provides recommendations to academic, corporate and governing institutions and regularly organises conferences on subjects of special relevance to young European researchers (e.g. the Bologna process).
