doctoral training
I'm not clear as to whether this expression used here means that members of XXX (a new grouping of universities) will be highly visible to young researchers, or whether the young researchers will be visible to members of XXX.
This new concept of doctoral training will certainly give XXX members a high profile around the world, but what exactly do you think is meant here, please?
The context is: Les établissements engagés dans XXX disposent de possibilités d’invitation de quelques jours à plusieurs mois pour des chercheurs confirmés, mais ne disposent pas d’un dispositif comparable dédié à l’accueil des jeunes chercheurs. Or, par leur forte mobilité dans les universités de l’Europe et du monde, *** les membres de XXX auront une bonne visibilité des jeunes chercheurs ***, XXX consentira donc un effort spécifique pour accroître cette connaissance du vivier des jeunes chercheurs et renforcer l’attractivité des unités de recherche.
TIA

to be able to observe
I understand this to mean that the members of the university grouping will be able to see the young researchers and the work that they are undertaking. Perhaps 'observe' would sound a little more natural than using 'visible'?
The members of XXX will be able to observe the young researchers.
The members of XXX will be able to observe the young researchers.

the young researchers will be visible to members of XXX.
I also think that this is what is meant here. This seems to be confirmed by the subsequent sentence which states that '...XXX consentira donc un effort spécifique pour accroître cette connaissance ...'

@ Imanol: Glad you share my view (if I understood it correctly) :-)
@ all others: thanks for the help. I'll get back to you with points etc
"XXX partner institutions may invite experienced researchers for a few days or even months, but do not have access to the set up available to young researchers. However, given the level of European and global mobility enjoyed by the members of XXX, the more experienced researchers will have their younger counterparts very much in view. XXX will be particularly inclined to enhance young researchers knowledge of the human resources available and to strengthen the attraction of research units."
