The WP3 project is aimed at development or revision of institutional policies, regulations and procedures in line with the redesigned legal framework. The organizational frameworks to support doctoral education and ensure open and inclusive research environments, transparent rules and procedures, as well as support for the professional development of both supervisors and doctoral candidates will be designed/revised. In particular, the Online Institutional Handbook for Doctoral Education will be developed and adapted by each participating HEI and SRI from Armenia. The Handbook will outline the entry requirements, clear policies and procedures, guidelines on admission, course duration, graduation, organization of teaching, research, supervision and defense, as well as cooperation with the industry, joint and double degree, mobility arrangements, evaluation, preparation of doctoral theses, roles and responsibilities, reporting, examination, assessment etc. The ratification of the institutional regulations and the availability of the Online Institutional HANDBOOK for Doctoral Education in project web site and in the web sites of participating institutions is considered as the major outcome and indicator of progress.
