With an emphasis on international perspectives and interaction geared towards the sharing of experiences and ideas, we will elaborate on the practices, guidelines and challenges in the field of professional doctorate programs in management education. Seasoned professors from different types of European and Oceania higher education institutions will share their experiences through the respective lenses of promoters, program managers, department heads, doctorate students and mediators in practitioner PhD/DBA education. The combination of different backgrounds and roles in doctorate education allows for a multi-faceted debate and rich roundtable interaction with workshop participants. This PDW is of interest to both faculty members of early to senior career stages, faculty managers and PhD students, especially in dedicated positions or projects at the academia-practice interface. Envisioned key takeaways are the elaboration of common ground, best practices, and jointly sketched ideas—even potential remedies—for some of the pressing issues encountered in professional doctorate education.
