Publications & Statements
The International Doctoral Council produces rigorous, evidence-based publications that inform policy, guide practice, and contribute to public discourse on complex global challenges.
Council Statements
The Council issues formal statements on matters of global significance, articulating evidence-based positions on complex challenges. These statements are developed through rigorous consultation, peer review, and consensus-building among doctoral leaders.
All statements adhere to principles of scientific neutrality, methodological transparency, and respect for democratic processes. They are written in accessible language while maintaining analytical depth.
Forthcoming: Initial Council statements are currently under development and will be published in due course.
Position Papers
Position papers provide in-depth analysis of specific issues in technology governance, public policy, education, and societal transformation. These papers synthesize existing research, identify knowledge gaps, and propose frameworks for evidence-based decision-making.
Position papers are authored by expert panels and subject to rigorous peer review. They are intended for policymakers, institutional leaders, and informed publics.
Forthcoming: Initial position papers on AI governance, climate adaptation, and educational futures are in preparation.
Framework Documents
Framework documents establish conceptual and methodological foundations for the Council's work. They articulate principles for doctoral leadership, criteria for evidence-based reasoning, and standards for institutional engagement.
These documents serve as reference points for Council members and external stakeholders, ensuring consistency, transparency, and accountability.
Forthcoming: Foundational framework documents on doctoral leadership, scientific neutrality, and institutional partnerships.
