This webinar provides a comprehensive overview over the practical aspects applicants need to consider when applying to the 2024 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks call. The RSO will highlight the most important details of the MSCA DN call, and Professor Alexandre Anesio, Department of Environmental Science will share his experiences as a coordinator and give his tips on putting together a consortium and writing the proposal.

The objective of Doctoral Networks is to implement doctoral programmes by partnerships of organisations from different sectors across Europe and beyond to train highly skilled doctoral candidates, stimulate their creativity, enhance their innovation capacities and boost their employability in the long-term. Doctoral Networks are open to international consortia of universities, research institutions, businesses, SMEs and other non-academic organisations. They should include at least three independent legal entities, each established in a different EU Member State or Horizon Europe Associated Country and with at least one of them established in an EU Member State. All areas of research may be funded and Doctoral Networks can last for up to 4 years (up to 5 years in the case of Joint Doctorate projects). The duration of each fellowship is between 3 and 36 months (between 3 and 48 months in the case of Joint Doctorate fellowships). Each beneficiary must recruit at least one doctoral candidate and can also organise secondments for them anywhere in the world.

Further information about the call can be found here.
