The Doctoral Networks are a cornerstone of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) under Horizon Europe, driving excellence in doctoral training through international, intersectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration. They are implemented through three distinct modes: Standard Doctoral Networks (DNs), Joint Doctorates (JDs) and Industrial Doctorates (IDs).
The MSCA Doctoral Networks 2026 call will be presented in detail, providing prospective applicants and stakeholders with comprehensive guidance on the key requirements and novelties of the 2026 call, with particular emphasis on the Industrial and Joint Doctorate modes.
The event will also introduce the RAISE DN 2026 call – Resources for AI Science in Europe. This new pilot initiative under Horizon Europe Cluster 4 builds on the MSCA Doctoral Networks 2026 call and offers an additional funding opportunity for projects integrating artificial intelligence in scientific research, as well as for those developing cutting-edge AI tools, systems and methodologies.
