The MSCA Doctoral Networks program supports partnerships among universities, research institutions, businesses, and socio-economic actors across Europe and beyond to deliver innovative doctoral training programs. These programs aim to enhance doctoral candidates’ research and transferable skills, improve their employability, foster international and inter-sectoral cooperation, and promote the integration of training and research activities. The networks emphasize open and merit-based recruitment, joint supervision for Industrial and Joint Doctorates, and the development of career plans, while encouraging knowledge exchange, digital skills, open science, and entrepreneurship to boost research and innovation capacity across disciplines and countries.
