In a Europe that upholds science and research as core values, designating May 13th as European Doctoral Day would affirm the importance of doctoral education, doctoral candidates and PhD holders for Europe as a whole.

At Université Côte d'Azur, we believe they are essential drivers of innovation in society and for humanity, crucial for addressing the challenges of a world in transition and for securing Europe's scientific future.
Creating a European Doctoral Day would enhance the attractiveness of doctoral education for both European and international students, raise employer awareness and recognition of doctoral qualifications, and highlight the diverse career paths and societal impact of doctoral graduates.
