Eurodoc, the European Council for Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers, is an international federation of national associations of doctoral candidates and early career researchers (pre-doctoral or post-doctoral researchers employed on a temporary basis) of the European Union and the Council of Europe. History The initiative for the first conference, held in 2001, was taken by the Doktorandnämnden of Uppsala Student Union, who organized the conference together with SweDoc, i.e. the Swedish association of doctoral candidates. Eurodoc was subsequently founded in Girona, Spain on 2 February 2002. Eurodoc was legally established in 2005 in Brussels as an international non-profit organisation. In a meeting of ministers responsible for higher education in Berlin in 2003, doctoral programmes were first mentioned in the Bologna Process setting. Since then, Eurodoc has been playing an active role in pertinent Bologna seminars and projects. Its involvement in the Bologna Process has been formally acknowledged in 2007 by the formal status of "partner" to the Bologna Process follow-up group. In addition, Eurodoc has been involved and provided input for the European Higher Education Area and the European Research Area. Eurodoc Conferences and Annual General Meetings Each year (generally in spring), Eurodoc convenes an international conference. This conference aims to provide a framework for doctoral candidates and junior researchers to meet with European political and economic leaders and to engage in a fruitful discussion on the construction of the European Research and Higher Education Area. Conferences are usually followed by an Annual General Meeting (AGM), Eurodoc’s highest decision-making body.
