Today we will take a closer look at Eurodoc, the European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers. It is an international federation of 29 national organisations of PhD candidates, and more generally of young researchers from 26 countries of the European Union and the Council of Europe. This episode is especially directed at newcomers in the area.
My interview partner is Agnieszka Żyra. Agnieszka is a PhD candidate at the Institute of Production Engineering at Cracow University of Technology and she is the president of Eurodoc. She was elected in July 2021.
