Experience exchange programme concerning the doctoral studies from two german universities

We had the wonderful occasion of directly coming into contact with the Doctoral Studies organization and the development of the PhD students' training from admission until the final exam at two German Universities, Leipzig University and Jena University. In order for us to form a image as detailed as we can, we have taken into consideration several methods of data selection such as: discussions with the universities' management, with the professors directly involved in the doctoral activity, meetings with PhD students, access to official documents, visiting the rooms and the research laboratories, etc. In the current article we aimed at briefly showing a part of our experience, starting from the belief that it is useful to all the people involved in the training activity for doctoral studies from the Romanian universities.
