Abstract: The number of Ph.D.’s produced annually in Flanders has increased sharply over the past twenty year. While in the academic year 1995-1996 598 Ph.D.’s graduated, by 2009-2010 this number had more than doubled to 1385 (Flemish Ministry for Education and Training, various years). This was made possible only by an enormous investment by the government to provide the necessary funding for a rapidly increasing number of doctoral students. Nevertheless, many Ph.D. students never complete their doctorate or only do so after a long time. Of the cohort that started as junior researchers at a Flemish university in 2000-2001 only 50.5% obtained their Ph.D. within eight years, which was already a substantial improvement over the cohort starting in 1990-1991, of which only 36.5% did so (Groenvynck et al,. 2011, 62).
