Eurodoc, an international federation based in Brussels, published a report analyzing PhD earnings across 26 countries for the 2024–25 period. The analysis revealed vast income imbalances among doctoral candidates throughout Europe. The report noted that Estonia implemented a 2022 doctoral education reform, replacing a student stipend of around €8,000 per year with a guaranteed salary approximately 2.5 times that amount.
