The Estonian Doctoral School brings together doctoral students and their supervisors from all Estonian universities. Its events enable doctoral students to establish scientific contacts in their fields of specialisation and international cooperation, to gain interdisciplinary knowledge and to develop their general skills. In addition, doctoral students can apply for a short-term mobility grant. A separate series of events supports the activities of supervisors.
In addition, the doctoral school supports the involvement of experts from Estonian and international universities and other evaluated research and development institutions in the co-supervision, mentoring and advising roles for doctoral students.
