EUROPEAN Doctoral Day, May 13th 2026

The Graduate Studies Office is pleased to announce participation in the first European Doctoral Day in May. To mark the occasion, the Research on Walls event will take place from 2-4 pm on Tuesday (May 12), followed by The Doctorate Journey: A Strategic Risk Management Perspective webinar from 10-12noon on Wednesday (May 13).

Across Europe, where science and research are central pillars, May 13th is recognised as European Doctoral Day - a celebration that emphasises the importance of doctoral education and the contribution of doctoral graduates as drivers of innovation. It also serves to acknowledge their role in guiding society through rapid change and in shaping Europe’s future.

European Doctoral Day is designed to:

  • Inspire European and international students to pursue doctoral education,
  • Increase employers’ awareness and recognition of doctoral qualifications,
  • Showcase the diverse career paths and societal contributions of doctoral graduates.
