Doctoral Study Programs Example of a Good Practice

SEEFORM prof.Mome SpasovskiVice-RectorSs.Cyril and Methodius University

Skopje, 12-13 November 2008

Challenges

Small country – limited number of candidates and experts in specific scientific fields

Necessity of flexibility of Ph.D. study programs

High cost of the studies Week industry – incapable of serios

investment in research

Advantages

Interdesciplinarity of the offered program International, first of all regional, concept in

organization Synergy between research and education Better access to EU funds

South Eastern European Graduate School for Master and Ph.D. Formation in Engineering
