Medical School University of Zagreb is deeply honoured to be the host of the first (2004) and now of the Second European conference on harmonisation of PhD programmes in biomedicine and health sciences. The idea was born in Zagreb with the aim to improve our own PhD programme, but we have found out that many other medical schools in different European countries share our dilemmas. Representatives of more than 30 medical schools from 23 European countries will come together in Zagreb. We are honoured and happy to have received support of most renowned European associations in this field, and that we were able to put together scientific and organizing committee consisting of prominent European scholars. Many new events took place in a short time since the last Conference in April 2004, which make gatherings of PhD programmes representatives in 2005 even more important: · The messages from the Berlin Communiqué of Ministers 2003 and the Salzburg seminar “Doctoral Programmes for the European Knowledge Society” (3-5 February 2005) will have a significant impact on medical schools and schools of public health. The new recommendations have been created for the Ministers’ meeting in Bergen 2005. It is reasonable to assume that the Bergen Conference is going to propose the PhD programmes, a third cycle of higher education, as a necessary step in the process of the attainment of doctoral degree. Eventually, the doctoral degree will be a prerequisite for academic and scientific career in all countries of the European Union, those seeking the membership, and those trying to have comparable system of high education. · Despite of the educational diversity in Europe, some mutual schemes were recognized in Salzburg. At the First European conference on harmonisation of PhD programmes in biomedicine and health sciences in Zagreb it was clearly stated that in the process of the doctoral degree attainment the emphasis must be placed on the advancement of scientific research. · The increased number of doctoral candidates is expected, which might lead to the advancement of science all across the Europe. On the other hand, if the implementation of PhD programmes and studies is not meaningfully organized and funded, the number and the quality of the programmes will go down. This situation may perpetuate the status quo, or even worse, it can lead towards the lowering of the existing criteria. Consequently, these negative effects may lower the critical mass of good quality scientists. · Establishing of PhD programmes as mandatory third cycle of higher education in all fields of medicine and medical specialisations is a new task for our universities, quite different from some voluntary PhD programmes and international networks seeking for scientific excellence in some very narrow fields. Now, starting from the need of necessary reproduction of academic staff at our universities, we have to make quality programmes in all fields of medicine and medical specialisations. The need for such broad programme (or so many different programmes) may lead to a lack of the knowledgeable experts and supervisors in some European countries, particularly in some medical fields. Greater cooperation among PhD programmes through the formation of wide international networks all across Europe might be one of the solutions. · The important aim of the Conference is to gather in one place the representatives of European universities participating in PhD programmes in biomedicine and health sciences, who can give an insight into their own experiences and the experiences of their countries, as well as try to propose the best way of mutual harmonisation, and creation or transformation of PhD programmes into “third circle of “Bologna process”. Even if the only one outcome would be the extended publication of PhD programmes in Europe, and some general recommendations based on first Zagreb Conference and Salzburg seminar it would still be an important guideline for many universities in creating or reshaping their PhD programmes. Additionally, the proposal of certain recommendations and start of the initiatives for mutual cooperation might be reached and would represent a significant achievement. With more ambitions, timing of the Conference between Salzburg Seminar (January 2005) and Ministers’ meeting in Bergen (May 19-20, 2005) allows us to send our suggestions to Bergen Conference where important decisions will take place. · The aims and objectives of the Second European conference on harmonisation of PhD programmes in biomedicine and health sciences are very much similar to that of the First conference and could be seen as their upgrade after Zagreb Declaration and Salzburg Recommendations: analysis of the obstacles and recommendations for quality improvement of PhD programmes. Thus essential topics are: PhD programmes in biomedicine and health sciences in front of challenges of Bologna process. How to develop quality programmes in each field within European medicine and health sciences? Enabling mobility through networking. Establishing minimal quality criteria for PhD thesis, supervisors and PhD programmes. In short it is expected that a document “Guidelines for Organisation of PhD Programmes in Biomedicine and Health Sciences” will be accepted by the Conference. |
PRELIMINARY PROGRAM
In general, Conference will work in sessions, chaired by several members of Scientific and Organising Committee. Committee will prepare written Conference proposals for discussion. We believe that the exchange of experiences and ideas and the discussion with the invited lecturers will lead us towards the following consensus documents:
- Guidelines for the Organisation of PhD Programmes in Biomedicine and Health Sciences
- Letter to the Bergen Ministers Conference
- Proposal on future activities
