Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine, NRFU, informs about the call open for submission within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA), Pillar I: Excellente Science, Horizon Europe Programme on May 28, 2025:

The deadline date is November 25, 2025.

  • Doctoral Networks implement doctoral programmes, by partnerships of universities, research institutions and infrastructures, businesses including SMEs, and other socio-economic actors from different countries across Europe and beyond. These doctoral programmes will respond to well-identified needs in various research and innovation areas, expose the researchers to the academic and non-academic sectors, and offer research training, as well as transferable skills and competences relevant for innovation and long-term employability.

Besides standard Doctoral Networks, incentives have been introduced to promote two specific types of doctorates as well:

  • Industrial Doctorates. They train PhD candidates who wish to develop their skills and step outside academia, in particular in industry and business. Individual participants must be enrolled in a doctoral programme and jointly supervised by the academic and non-academic partners.
  • Joint Doctorates. They provide a highly integrated type of international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration in doctoral training leading to a joint doctoral degree or multiple doctoral degrees awarded by the participating institutions. PhD candidates must be enrolled in a joint programme and be jointly supervised.

More information on the specifics of the consortium and the conditions for participation in the call for proposals can be found on the MSCA official website and in the relevant work programme.
