promovendi[edit]

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.^[1] 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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Can you write up a stub for this or this is not very interesting for you? - Altenmann >talk 02:22, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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#Higher education. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:16, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
