The Eurodoc Annual Conference 2026 has officially begun, hosted this year by DOSZ at Semmelweis University in Budapest.

The conference was opened by Nicola Dengo, President of Eurodoc, who highlighted the importance of the role of early-career researchers. This was followed by welcome remarks from Péter Hermann, Vice-Rector for Educational Affairs at Semmelweis University. In his speech, Péter Vámosi, President of DOSZ, emphasized the importance of European cooperation, noting that all Hungarian early-career researchers will soon once again be able to participate in the Erasmus and Horizon programmes. Gábor Takács spoke on behalf of the National Doctoral Council about the contribution of early-career researchers to shaping higher education. Finally, Enikő Kubinyi, Deputy State Secretary at the Ministry for Science and Technology, welcomed the guests, addressing in particular the challenges of pursuing a research career.

This year's conference theme is Early Career Researchers as Ambassadors for Science and Society – exploring how early-career researchers can act as bridges between science and society, how they engage in academic governance, and how they help strengthen ECR communities across Europe.

❗ This week, Eurodoc’s Secretariat Coordinator, Karl Kilbo Edlund, participated in the Open4UA Forum, hosted in a hybrid format by Kyiv Polytechnic Institute as part of the Erasmus+ Open Science for Ukrainian Higher Education System (Open4UA) project.

🧑‍🎓Representing the perspective of doctoral candidates and other early-career researchers (ECRs), Eurodoc emphasised three priorities for the future of Open Science:
🏋️‍♂️ Embedding Open Science training in doctoral education, ensuring that ECRs acquire the skills needed to translate Open Science principles into everyday research practice.
🤝 Delivering on the promises made in researcher assessment reform on recognising Open Science contributions alongside judicious use of quantitative indicators.
🚀 Fully recognising ECRs not only as users of Open Science, but as key drivers of their development and implementation.

🤝 As a partner in the Open4UA project, Eurodoc is committed to ensuring that the voice of ECRs is heard in the development of Open Science and research assessment policies at institutional, national, and European levels. Through initiatives such as Open4UA, Open Science can contribute not only to research quality and transparency, but also to the modernisation and European integration of higher education systems.

Recently, Europe marked the very first European Doctoral Day. While the day itself has passed, our commitment to supporting, representing, and advocating for doctoral candidates continues every single day.

Doctoral candidates are at the heart of how knowledge is created, challenged, and shared across borders. Yet, many continue to face significant challenges, including unstable employment contracts, limited access to social rights, and high pressure affecting their mental health.

If Europe wants to lead in research and innovation, it must actively invest in its early-career researchers. This means ensuring fair employment, adequate salaries, stable contracts, and the protection of academic freedom.

To turn the spirit of European Doctoral Day into something practical, Eurodoc is launching a new initiative to gather guides on doctoral programmes from different national contexts across Europe. These resources will be compiled and made available on our website, helping doctoral candidates easily access clear information about their rights, training, supervision, and career support in different countries.

Let’s continue to include, support, and advocate for doctoral candidates as they shape the future of European research.
