In the frame of the thematic networks devoted to the development of LifeLong Learning (LLL) in Europe, the ELLEIEC project, more especially focused on Electrical and Information Engineering, the situation of PhD students in Europe was analyzed. Thanks to a questionnaire submitted to all the members of this network, an overview on 23 European countries was obtained. This paper tries to highlight the several aspects of the status and proposes recommendations in order to make easier the mobility and exchange in Europe at PhD level. The final part of this work is devoted to recommendations to the European partners in order to improve the present situation and to create a real European space for doctoral studies.

Mots clés: doctoral studies; mobility of PhD student in Europe; harmonization in the frame of Bologna process
