ABOUT US
Founded in 2017, the PRIDE Network Association aims at representing the community of Professionals in Doctoral Education within Europe and beyond.
The establishment of the association was preceded by an EU-funded project, the PRIDE project. In this project we took a closer look at the contributions, roles and job profiles of those university staff members who, as non-academic personnel, make a significant contribution to the quality and offerings in doctoral education.
Mission
The PRIDE organisation is distinctive in being committed to providing strong leadership to those professionals who specialise in developing all aspects of Doctoral Education. This unique agenda is achieved through a Code of Practice and pledge to the community to

Provide STABILITY with agility
Commit to a SPECIALISED focus
Deliver STATE of the ART training

These CORE PRINCIPLES define PRIDE and the work of its BOARD members.
