Talk:Ius promovendi

promovendi
from "Maastricht University":
 * Ph.D. candidates (promovendi) at Maastricht University do not pay tuition as they have the rank of junior members of the academic staff. Ph.D. candidates are employed by the university or faculty on full-time, four-year contracts with regular, entry-level wages and employee benefits. Ph.D. appointments usually involve teaching responsibilities and limited administrative duties.

from "Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam":
 * As is common in Dutch universities, 'promovendi' are paid a salary and are considered university employees, therefore they do not pay tuition.

Can this info added here (or to some more appropriate page)? I redirected promovendus/promovendi here, knowing no better place. Or may be even a separate page, because I found "Doctorandus". (And I guess we will need link promovenda) - Altenmann >talk 23:21, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

By the way, can you search enwiki for "promovendus"? I see some suspicious texts, such as "This research is typically conducted while working at a university as a promovendus (research assistant)" in "Education in the Netherlands". This syntax implies that promovendus="research assistant", which I guess not. - Altenmann >talk 23:21, 20 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Some other appropriate page, I think. In the Netherlands, as in some other parts of Europe, doctoral students are employees of the university for a fixed term (usually four years) rather than customers paying the university to provide education as a service. It is more or less equivalent to what would be called a "graduate student researcher" or "research assistant" at a US university; the difference is that the US universities split the employment as a researcher and the status as a student in a degree program into two different things, sometimes find other means of support for doctoral students as teaching assistants, and do not always guarantee four-year employment. But that is not about the right to be a doctoral advisor, so it is off-topic for this article. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:42, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Can you write up a stub for this or this is not very interesting for you? - Altenmann >talk 02:22, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It would need published sources, and maybe is not notable as a standalone topic. But with sources it might be added to Education in the Netherlands. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:16, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
