This document discusses doctoral education reforms at the University of Zagreb. It notes that historically, doctoral studies lacked structure and monitoring. Recent reforms aim to align with the Bologna Process, with new laws and regulations governing doctoral programs. Key issues discussed include developing quality assurance measures, criteria for enrollment and supervision, balancing research and teaching responsibilities, duration and funding of programs, and increasing mobility and internationalization of doctoral studies.
