The MSCA Doctoral Networks (DNs) aim to train a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative doctoral candidates, able to face current and future challenges and to convert knowledge and ideas into products and services for economic and social benefit. The MSCA DNs provide enhanced career perspectives in both the academic and non-academic sectors through international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral mobility combined with an innovation-oriented mind-set.
A typical Doctoral Network is an international consortium of host organisations from the academic and non-academic sectors, including organisations based in Member States and Associated countries. If necessary, the Doctoral Networks can also include participants from host organisations outside Europe.
MSCA-NET (network of MSCA NCPs) has recently published the MSCA-NET DN handbook which provides detailed information on how to write Part B proposal for this call. You can download the handbook here .
