Shared Commitment Among Universities

Shared commitment for the implementation of approved EU programmes and contracts

Since 1993
Following the implementation of the project’s multiyear programming in the framework of ERASMUS PIC (1993-1996) , SOCRATES-CDA 1996-2000 – implementation phase and CDA-D (2000-01), dedicated to the project’s development and diffusion, the European doctorate became a fully implemented project that continues to move forward, and has become a long-term acquisition thanks to the contributions of the Socrates programme and the Marie Curie Multipartner Organisation. The 13 universities in the network have pledged to a “shared commitment” in the development of activities and other approved programmes linked to the European doctorate (see the long list of the approved contracts).
