Recently, Sonia Cardoso, a researcher from CeiED, has received an invitation to join the International Centre for Comparative Study of Doctoral Education (ICSDE), in recognition of her work in advancing knowledge on doctoral education. The ICSDE is an international group of researchers dedicated to the study of doctoral education, originating from collaboration between the University of Durham in the UK and the University of Sofia in Bulgaria. Since then, it has expanded through international connections and collaborations. This affiliation will provide the researcher with the opportunity to participate in research projects and scientific events on topics related to doctoral education.
