The Estonian Doctoral Society (DOCSOC, in Estonian DOK) was founded in August 2024 to serve as the representative organization for all PhD candidates and early-career researchers in Estonia on different levels. Beside that, we aim to foster an inclusive and supportive community—a safe space where members can openly share challenges, exchange ideas, and celebrate the joys of academic life. Doktorantide Selts is also committed to advocating for better working conditions for early-career researchers and promoting PhD studies in a positive and inspiring light. They organize a variety of events at least once a month, including workshops and seminars focused on professional development and academic growth, but also networking and collaboration events that help build connections and encourage interdisciplinary cooperation.
