With more than 10,000 doctoral students working in their laboratories, often in cooperation with partners from the business and industrial world, the five universities of the confederation occupy a major position in the field of research in the Upper Rhine region. The implications and the advantages that the doctoral training programmes represent for each university on a national, European and world level are such that, in 2009, the rectors and presidents of the Eucor universities decided to set up a common framework across national borders. Their aim was to support doctoral students by enabling them to benefit more efficiently from the complementary nature and originality of the tri-national educational programmes of the Eucor universities.
