Funding for doctoral candidates in some European nations often runs out before the research projects end and doesn't cover living expenses, according to a 2008–09 survey of more than 7,500 PhD students from 12 countries. In Spain, 31% of respondents said that funding does not adequately cover their living costs; in Portugal it was 24%, and in Croatia 23%. The report, by the European Council of Doctoral Candidates and Junior Researchers (Eurodoc) in Brussels, was released on 30 September. Eurodoc's most extensive survey to date, the report documents trends in career paths, funding, mobility, training and working conditions.
