Abstract: The subject of the article concerns the situation of doctoral students trainedin the context of an institutionalized system of higher education. The academicethos has been offered for sale, and has become another educational service usedfor different interests. The metaphor of “gaps” that I introduce in the article describeswell the unprivileged position of the young people entering the world of science. I try to identify the “gaps” and the “tensions” disintegrating the existingorder, in which the traditional ethos of commitments is eroded by the new systemof claims. The university tied up with formal regulations creates a new environmentwhere everything: the role of mentors, the relationships, and the positionof doctoral students change significantly. I choose hermeneutic to analyze theframework education programs, and to try to answer the question: What goalsare implemented and what effects of the training of doctoral students emergefrom the interpretation of the source material? I refer also to qualitative data(interviews with university students) which shows the evolution of the youth’sattitudes to their own role and place in the world of scholars.
