This issue of Eurodoc's newsletter is aimed to doctoral training and career development.

This topic was chosen due to an increasing number of PhD holders in last two decades (in Europe) which need to be sufficiently prepared not only for academic career, but also for the labour market or their own business. Formal education and training should equip everyone with broad range of skills which opens doors to personal fulfilment and development, social inclusion, active citizenship and employment.

This issue includes an articol from ADI about doctoral training and career opportunities in the Italian academic system.
