Before TUD Graduate School
• TUD “ius promovendi” since 1906: 5000 Doctors in 2007
•Mainly applied sciences/mathematics/engineering
•Research focused: PhD as “ R-assistant to professor”
•Traditional 1:1 relationship student to master
•Variety of cultures: good and non professional cases
8
• Dissatisfaction: effectiveness/efficiency/PhD “isolation”• International developments: 3rd cycle PhD and TUD-position
• Sept 2007 Taskforce PhD policy: PVS, ratios, capacity, info • And: Graduate Schools, Doctoral Education, Code on Good
Doctoral Supervision• Working Group “Streamlining PhD Programs” July 2008• Agenda: vision/content, structure/governance, support, and:
culture!
• TUD process via steering group 2009/2010 • Start TUD Gschool: september 2011
Professionalize building on good practices
Context TUDelft PhD policy
“The Delft statement on DE” : a vision• Provide doctoral talents with excellent start for life
long personal development• Competences aimed at science-field and
transferable skills to serve worthy career options• Dedicated staff/peer-environment: inspiration, ideas,
intervision; guidance & supervision• Our position/network = access to international stage• DE-variety, individually tailored, with TUD-colour• Structure where quality is fostered and guarded
“Appealing perspective” : ex- and internal!
10
Graduate School principles
• The Delft University of Technology Graduate School is made up of the faculty graduate schools
• Focus stays on research at the faculty, within a department
• Authority remains with the faculties, who will all have a graduate office to better facilitate the PhD process
• Relationship between PhD student and supervisor(s) is crucial
• There will be more attention for quality demands on process and progress
• There will be reliable data available about all PhD’s
11
G-School cornerstones
• Graduate School organisation• TU Delft Graduate School: overall policy, quality standards; courses; facilities• Faculty Graduate Schools: implementation
• Doctoral education • learning on the research-job• research and discipline related training• transferable skills
• Supervision: Inspiring relationship between PhD student and Supervisor(s)
• an education in research!

Code of Good Practice Supervision
•Reference: pos/neg examples “master-fellow”•Ius Promovendi is not a right “on its/your own”
•Complementary forms of supervision/mentorship•Stimulating biotope
•Formal: supervision in agenda R&O, PVS based•Informal: transparent shared culture
•Build on best practices Delft, NL, international•Owned TUD Board/Deans and the “academic community”
…and a CoGP for PhD students!

Before FoA Graduate School
•Focus on educating architects + urban designers as practitioners. PhD was option for “failed designers”
•Culture of positive creative chaos; weak PhD records
•R traditions: History & Theory, Design research, B-Technology, Spatial planning, Social/economic
•The T and U of TUDelft “underdeveloped”: while Doctorate is csf for identitiy of R-university
•Arch/Urb research: position, criteria/validation and appreciation unclear
20
21
2002 “Leap forward”:Delft School of Design and further
•Research by design, design research & methodology
•PhD environment /community: lectures/facilities ao
•TUD strategy and R-review results boost PhD
•Debates how to value “architecture” research: critical for position, appreciation and funding (see paper)
22
23
TUD/FoA Graduate School Sept 2011 Architecture+Built Environment
•Based on overall TU Delft GS requirements, facilitated by local Graduate Office
•Programs linked to faculty research fields•4 years R-training include 45 ects DE and 1 year thesis
•Comprehensive supervision/mentoring•Frequent data, monitoring and reviews
•Total 150 PhD“persons”…15-20 DR degrees/yr
Work in progress with “culture” as csf
24
A+BE Research fields
•Architecture, Design & History, Urbanism, Urban & Regional development
•Computation & Performance, Green Building performance
•Innovations in management Built Environment•Housing Systems & Quality, Neighbourhood change & Housing
•GIS technology, Governance of Geo information & Land development
•Berlage (Institute Rotterdam)
25
Arranging Research (see paper)
“4 Types”of Research•Historical Research•Evaluation Research•Conceptual Research•Practical Research
Made explicit via•Various indicators•Scientific quality and Societal relevance•Output and for person
? “Scientific Design” as valid output?
26
Issues “still pending”
•Further implementation of TUD Graduate School/A+BE: structure/systems, content, and culture
•Changing PhD population: nationality/funding
•Strengthening the strategic position “Architecture” •Valuing research output both nationally/internationally: criteria, reviews; articles/books ao
•Shared criteria for a “design” PhD (Arch/Urb/BTech)
All this as a CSF for research and PhD funding programs
27
“The End”
•Your reaction + input is highly valued
•Make use of EUA/CDE network
•Let us shape the next “leap forward”
THANK YOU!
