Nacaps HEI-Workshop 2026

Two days of exchanging ideas and networking: On 2 and 3 November, we welcomed 33 partner institutions from the Nacaps project to Hanover.

What research potential do the panel data from the Nacaps doctoral student surveys offer? How can Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) use the survey data for their quality management, and what do they need to bear in mind? And: What can HEIs and interviewees expect from the first Nacaps survey in 2027?

From analyses of pursuing a doctorate with health impairments to the question of what actually constitutes good doctoral supervision: together with our partner institutions, we discussed current topics and trends. This was complemented by fascinating insights into the research being carried out at the participating HEIs and into the research questions being explored by colleagues at the DZHW who work with our data.

Many thanks to all our partners and external speakers for the lively exchange! With plenty of momentum behind us, preparations for the first Nacaps survey in February 2027 are now in full swing.
