The MSCA Doctoral Networks aim to train creative, entrepreneurial, innovative, and resilient 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 Doctoral Networks will raise the attractiveness and excellence of doctoral training in Europe. They will equip researchers with the right combination of research-related and transferable competences and provide them with enhanced career perspectives in both the academic and non-academic sectors through international, interdisciplinary, and inter-sectoral mobility combined with an innovation-oriented mind-set.
