Eurodoc is organising an ambassador programme focused on democracy and the fundamental values

The European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers (Eurodoc) is organising an ambassador programme focused on democracy and the fundamental values this Spring. The aim of the programme is to enable academics in European higher education institutions to understand and explore the role higher education and research play for democracies in Europe and to become ambassadors for democracy within their institutions, their research communities, as well as in society. This course is the very first of its kind and a unique opportunity to strengthen the understanding and practices of democracy in and by universities in this crucial moment of democratic backsliding and threats to research and higher education.

The course is specifically aimed at early-career researchers from all disciplines and from across Europe and aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the democratic values of higher education and research in Europe and to provide them with a theoretical and practical basis for their advocacy activities. The lectures will be given by a mixture of key experts (e.g. Lisa Herzog, Sjur Bergan, Peter Maassen, Liviu Mattei) and stakeholders (e.g. ALLEA and ENRIO). 

The programme consists of three parts: 

  • The Democratic Context of Research and Higher Education in Europe
  • EHEA Fundamental Values
  • Institutions, Legislations and Questions of Alignment

You can find the programme with all further details attached as well as a flyer that we encourage you to share with others. 

It will be possible to take the course for the certificate (Track 1), but it is equally possible to just join in for (some of) the lectures (Track 2) without any further commitments.

And in case of any questions, you can contact the organisers at valdem@eurodoc.net.
