Ortega President Council of Graduate Schools On behalf of the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS), I am delighted to welcome you to the Tenth Annual Strategic Leaders Global Summit on Graduate Education. We are honored to co-host this year’s event with the University of São Paulo (USP), an international CGS member that has participated in the Global Summit since 2011. I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Carlos Gilberto Carlotti and Professor Bernadette Franco for their leadership throughout the planning process, as well as to USP’s Vice President, Vahan Agopyan, who first proposed the plan to hold this year’s summit in Brazil. As we begin, I would also like to give special thanks to Educational Testing Service (ETS) for its support of this year’s event. ETS is in an excellent position to contribute to our conversation about the changing nature of doctoral education—as an employer of a great number of doctorate-degree holders, and as a global research organization that closely follows trends in graduate education worldwide. The Strategic Leaders Global Summit: Ten Years and Counting In 2006, CGS and the European University Association (EUA) held a transatlantic dialogue in Salzburg to discuss reforms in doctoral education. It was this meeting that led to the creation of the Strategic Leaders Global Summit, which expanded to include master’s as well as doctoral education. The first summit took place in Banff, Canada, in 2007, and established principles to guide future global collaboration among graduate deans and other university leaders. Since 2008, CGS has partnered with a diverse range of organizations and universities to organize summits on specific, pressing themes in graduate education: Research Ethics and Scholarly Integrity (2008); International Collaborations (2009); Measuring Quality (2010), co-hosted with the Australian Group of Eight and the Deans and Directors of Graduate Studies in Australia; Career Pathways for Graduate Students (2011), co-hosted with the University of Hong Kong (HKU); “Brain Circulation” and Global Careers, co-hosted with the Technical University of Munich (2012); Graduate Education and the Promises of Technology (2013), co-hosted with Central European University (CEU); Interdisciplinary Learning (2014), co-hosted with Memorial University of Newfoundland; and Big Data in Graduate Education (2015), co- hosted with the National University of Singapore (NUS). A number of these theme-based summits have given special attention to doctoral education. In 2010, summit participants discussed a variety of international efforts to establish quality measures for the assessment of doctoral
