GENESIS: Internationally, the importance of the doctorates has been growing continuously. This increasing attention has not been predominantly concerned with the traditional role as future supply of academics but also focused on the increasingly important role in the knowledge economy, specially with regard to high-level skills.
More and more universities around the world graduate ever increasing numbers of students with Ph.Ds, A new study notes that China is the world leader in producing Ph.Ds, having outnumbered the United States on a per year basis. Doubts are raised that the sharp increase of Ph.D. awardee may be compromised at the cost of quality.
Every year on an average about 0.3 million Ph.Ds are produced globally in which India’s share is just (about 23000) 7% whereas China and USA contribute to about 45-55 thousand doctorates, which amounts to over 30% of the total doctorates. More often, the quality of Ph.D. research work is questionable. It has been felt that a global platform of doctorates should be established to share the experiences in generation and dissemination of knowledge and also to network for ensuring high quality in doctoral research. In pursuance with this objective, on March 7, 2012, a distinguished group called “Global Network of Doctorates” (GND) was created on LinkedIn, which is so far joined by move the 4346 highly accomplished professionals from 55 countries.
These members have doctorate degrees in different fields of study and they were engaged in hundreds of discussions, opinion polls and thousands of comments/ suggestions to improve quality of research. Click Here
Global Network of Doctorates also declared that August 25th shall be observed as the “World Doctorates Day” and on this day various academic Institutions organize conferences/seminars/ workshop/Lecture Series etc. and take a pledge. Five years back on August 25th 2013, we had organized a conference at Apeejay Stya University, Gurugram and the Jamia Milia Islamia University. In 2014, this event was organized on August 25th at India International Centre, New Delhi. In 2015 this event was organized by Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. During the last 3 years the event was organised at ITM University Gwalior (2016), JNU, New Delhi (2017) Christ University, Bengaluru (2018), Goa University, Goa (2019) and ITM University Gwalior (2020).
This year, to commemorate this day, Amity University Haryana under the aegis of Global Network of Doctorates proposes to organize a one-day “International Conference on Issues and Challenges in Doctoral Research (ICICDR 2020)” through online platform. Invitations are being sent to hundreds of doctorates across the world including a few eminent academicians and Corporate Executives for their gracious presence. We hope that about 300 doctorates will participate in this event.
Eminent thought leaders and academicians from India and abroad will provide critical and interactive lectures to discuss the issues and challenges related to the doctoral research. The objectives of the conference are to develop remedial strategies to address the following concerns and topics in order to promote and strengthen doctoral research globally:
