The ENLIGHT Doctoral Network (DN) brings together ENLIGHT partner universities in the field of doctoral studies to promote knowledge sharing and collaborative activities across the alliance. It aims at long-term collaboration in the field of doctoral studies between ENLIGHT partner universities to advance the quality of doctoral studies, enhance the practices, and facilitate desired changes in line with the strategic objectives of each partner university. The network’s activities aim to create added value for partner universities’ doctoral candidates, including fostering their mobility within the network.
On 12–13 May, representatives from ENLIGHT partner universities met in beautiful Bern for the kick-start of the ENLIGHT Doctoral Network! Hosted by the University of Bern, the two-day gathering was filled with inspiring exchanges, lively discussions, and shared ambitions for shaping the future of doctoral education across Europe.

It does that from the perspective of immigration and socially vulnerable groups of minorities and non-citizens by the example of Japan and the countries of the European Union. The conference invites individual presentations that deal with the beforementioned topics, especially presentations of PhD students.

The foundation of all good research is a well designed, well built, and well maintained Critical State of the Art (SoA). This is usually the first major task as a doctoral student, and one that researchers will continue to need to work on throughout their doctoral studies, and perhaps beyond. How good the Critical State of the Art is will determine the quality of the research, and thus how successful and worthwhile the doctoral research will be.
