Eurodoc - Definition and Overview

Eurodoc (www.eurodoc.net) (http://www.eurodoc.net) is the European federation of national associations of young researchers who are currently undertaking their doctorate or recently finished it. As a Non-profit organization, Eurodoc monitors the situation of doctoral and Postdoctoral 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).
