Hver forskerskole består av et nettverk av institusjoner som har inngått et forpliktende samarbeid om ph.d.-utdanning innenfor et fagområde. De samarbeider om kurs, seminarer, sommerskoler osv., og benytter hverandres laboratoriefasiliteter i fag der dette er relevant. De kan derfor tilby en bredere forskerutdanning enn hver enkelt institusjon har mulighet til alene.
