SALZBURG PRINCIPLES (2005) • Original research is central to the doctorate Embedding in institutional policies and strategies • • Importance of diversity • Doctoral candidates as early stage researchers • Role of supervision and assessment • Achieving critical mass 3 - 4 years duration • • Promotion of innovative structures • Increasing mobility • Ensuring appropriate funding http://www.eua.be/Libraries/CDE_website/Salzburg_Conclusions.sflb.ashx
Increasing mobility : Doctoral programs should seek to offer geographical as well as interdisciplinary and intersectoral mobility and international collaboration within an integrated framework of cooperation between universities and other partners. 4

CLUES FOR SUCCES Internationalisation Internationalisation strategies should be a tool in increasing the quality in doctoral education and in developing institutional research capacity . • Internationalisation at home (using the international profile of the home institution such as international doctoral candidates, staff, events and guest researchers), • collaborative doctoral programmes (with individual mobility, such as cotutelle) • international joint doctoral programmes (joint, integrated curricula, joint committees and juries, and the joint degree). Doctoral education should include the possibility for mobility experiences. 6
TYPES OF MOBILITY (LERU) i · Exchange mobility: Students themselves choose to n d have an experience abroad for a short or longer period i of time, at a host institution, according to an individual v mobility arrangement between the host and the home i d institution. The prototypical example here is mobility u as funded by the Erasmus programme. a l · Networked mobility and curricula : One university, a faculty, department or a specific university programme forms a network with several partners. The ‘centre or e demanding university’ sends its students for a certain s period of time to one or more partner institutions, to t follow (part of) their curriculum abroad. r u · Embedded mobility and curricula : A limited number c t of partners (faculties, departments, programmes) u engage in a consortium (e.g. ‘ring-shaped’), in which r students then ‘rotate’ and follow parts of their a educational trajectory subsequently in two or more d partner institutions, while students of those partner a institutions do the same. The curriculum is fully synchronised. 7
