Abstract
The consortium can be regarded as one of the most essential approaches in the process of academic communication, of which the forms have conferences, meetings, colloquium, etc. Among them, the doctoral consortium has generally been seen as an indispensable part of doctoral training, because it will not only provide communication platforms to stakeholders, but facilitate the transferability between knowledge and skills. Based on the conditions mentioned above, this study conducts a comparative study on 17 worldwide doctoral consortia in design from three perspectives: staff composition, support system, and interactive mode, by which the researcher aims to investigate the situation of doctoral communication and inform the emerging doctoral pedagogies, to benefit the design education field with first-hand empirical materials for mainland China and the world. Finally, three aspects of findings have been proposed after a systematic investigation, which is related to inclusiveness, openness, and timeliness of doctoral communication and education.

Research on the doctoral consortium structure of design
The consortium can be regarded as one of the most essential approaches in the process of academic communication, of which the forms have conferences, meetings, colloquium, etc. Among them, the doctoral consortium has generally been seen as an indispensable part of doctoral training, because it will not only provide communication platforms to stakeholders, but facilitate the transferability between knowledge and skills. Based on the conditions mentioned above, this study conducts a comparative study on 17 worldwide doctoral consortia in design from three perspectives: staff composition, support system, and interactive mode, by which the researcher aims to investigate the situation of doctoral communication and inform the emerging doctoral pedagogies, to benefit the design education field with first-hand empirical materials for mainland China and the world. Finally, three aspects of findings have been proposed after a systematic investigation, which is related to inclusiveness, openness, and timeliness of doctoral communication and education.
