Introduction of structured doctoral studies being a recent development on European level, the project’s Workshop on PhD structure, SEE Young Researchers’ Workshop, Workshop on Core Knowledges and Quality Assurance and Workshop on harmonized PhD programs, besides their key role in the creation of SEE PhD curricula and syllabi and evaluation of current PhD students at WB universities served also as a training opportunity for a participants on doctoral programs as the third Bologna cycle, its structure, design, teaching and advising requirements. The staff was selected by their home institutions, one or two representatives per institution for each workshop, depending upon the number of participants applied. The selected applicants were professors involved in PhD curricula development at their home institution. This choice of representatives also supports sustainability of the project.
