Abstract

AIMS OF THE PRIDE PROJECT
The overall aim of this project is to contribute to the professionalization of administrative staff in the field of European doctoral education, in order to provide better support to PhD supervisors, PhD candidates and external stakeholders.
Establishing a social network for professionals will facilitate the dissemination and exploitation of results and prepare the basis for creating an EU network for professionals in doctoral education. In a first step information about good governance structures in doctoral schools focusing on non-scientific issues will be gathered through a needs analysis. Furthermore, opinion leaders in the R&D / HR sector (including the private sector) will be interviewed on the future role and optimal governance embedding of these administrators.

OBJECTIVE 1: collect and analyze needs and good practice focusing on the different roles and responsibilities of administrative staff in doctoral education as well as expectations they are confronted with.
OBJECTIVE 2: describe in a handbook for the professionalization of administrative staff. The handbook will include a number of good practices, a set of hands-on tools and guiding principles to foster professional development at universities. This handbook should become a valuable source of information for university leadership, middle-managers as well as administrators who want to enhance their competences.
OBJECTIVE 3: design a training course for the professionalization of administrative staff , consisting of modules for formal qualification according to specific administrative tasks and positions. These training modules will serve as one of the major vehicles to disseminate and exploit the project’s results.

EUROPEAN ADDED VALUE
It is intended that the outcomes of the project will impact upon policy making in Europe and decrease 'fragmentation'.
University leaders will become acquainted with strategies and with the necessary means to professionalize administrative staff, facilitating the change-management process which is in place in European universities.
Finally, it is expected that the initiatives planned through this project, in addition to the strengths of the consortium and input from the private sector, will lead to ensuring 'excellence' of doctoral education support at the EU level.
