Conference summation
The conference was attended by about 80 guests from Hungarian Universities, PhD students, authorities, research institutes;
Instances of key note speakers and the main panel discussions were broadcast live so that they can be viewed by a larger group of people interested in the undertaken subject.
All speeches accompanied by stormy discussions. Particular interest was the future of the doctoral program and the manner of its implementation.
End of the project is not the end of our adventure it’s just a
beginning!!!!

The EDiTE research program
Doctoral programm/„doctoral school” is not only a school butalso a research community (a community of researchers).
The program is to help students from different universities and research cooperation in various environments.
This would enable them to acquire new knowledge and experience.
Learning environments
Participating in research project students beyond realizing theirown research project can take part in other research projectsbeing implemented in the doctoral school, with the purpose oflearning how to manage research projects, how to cooperatewith other researchers, and how to reflect on the outcomes andprocesses of the project
Learning environments
Designing and negotiating research projects: students beyond discussing their own proposed research designwith their peers and their teachers are encouraged to take part in the design and in the negotiation of other Research Planswithin the partner institutions.
Work shadowing of senior researchers: students can follow the work days of senior researchers in thepartner institutions and reflect on their experiences
Learning environments
Literature review and meta analysis:students write a summary of the main studies and research,consider the critical points of current knowledge includingsubstantive findings as well as theoretical and methodologicalcontributions related to their topics. Students may prepare anoverall synthesis of the relevant literature with an emphasis onanalyzing and synthesizing the main outcomes and conclusions
Learning environments
Journal clubs: students take part in the work of virtual communities organizedaround their research area to discuss and evaluate the reviews,publications and research proposals of group members.
Academic debates:students take part in debates related to their research field through participating in virtual peer group discussions and various regional and national conferences.
Learning environments
Problem discussion forums: current problems of teacher education may be discussed byvarious actors of teacher education. The forums can beorganized face to face or in a virtual context.Workshops on research methodology:experts in a certain research methodology lead the workshopwhere students learn how to identify and evaluate the pros andcons of a research methodCase study: students analyze together a case study of a developmental,innovative research project on teacher education
