The process of introducing connective links appears to be somewhat contradictory but nevertheless negotiable, with plenty of room for improvement.

Consequently, policy steering is mostly performed at the national level. In this article, we examine Finnish doctoral education from the steering perspective in a European context. We describe the development and steering of Finnish doctoral education, as well as the current doctoral education policies and …
