Eurodoc organises its Annual Conference and General Meeting since 2001. This major gathering of doctoral candidates and junior researchers in Europe proved to be a great opportunity for anybody to learn young researchers’ views and share their own with them.
Eurodoc Annual Conference
Eurodoc Annual Conference aims to provide a framework for young European researchers to meet with other stakeholders in European Research and Higher Education Areas and to engage them in fruitful discussions. The 2009 edition of the conference will focus on the roles young researchers play in the knowledge-based economy. See the preliminary programme for more details.
General Meeting
General Meeting is the highest decision making body of Eurodoc. Apart from its regular and mandatory agenda which namely includes renewal of the Eurodoc Board, the 2009 General Meeting will also address the fact that Eurodoc grew to 32 members in recent years. See the General Meeting agenda for more information.
