The research quality of all four partners has been endorsed in several external assessments: the Schools of English and History at Kent have been placed among the best in their country in the 2008 UK Research Assessment Exercise, with over 50% of their research classified as ‘world-leading’ and ‘internationally excellent’; FU Berlin is one of only nine German universities successful in all three funding lines of the national Excellence Initiative; both Porto and CU Prague head their nations in the Academic Ranking of World Universities.
A detailed Consortium Agreement specifiying the nature and extent of the joint operation has been formally agreed by all partners. It covers the following aspects: obligations of the members of the consortium; obligations of the partners/contractors; doctoral programme; governance structure; award of doctorates; transcripts; diploma supplements; degree certificates; admission and selection; registration; financial arrangements; quality assurance; promotion of the programme; obligations to doctoral candidates; alumni association; settlement of disputes; liability; insurance. It also contains the complete programme specification in an annex.
