The MSCA Doctoral Networks aim to train entrepreneurial, innovative, and resilient doctoral candidates capable of tackling current and future challenges and converting knowledge and ideas into products and services for economic and social benefit. There are three different implementation modes: Standard Doctoral Networks (DNs), Joint Doctorates (JDs), and Industrial Doctorates (IDs).
The project outcomes are expected to contribute to the following results:
For supported doctoral candidates:
- New transferable research skills leading to enhanced employability and career prospects both within and outside academia.
- New knowledge enabling the conversion of ideas into products and services, where relevant.
- Networking and communication abilities with peers and the general public, increasing and broadening the impact of research and innovation.
For participating organizations:
- Improved quality, relevance, and sustainability of doctoral training programs and supervision arrangements.
- Strengthened cooperation and knowledge transfer across sectors and disciplines.
- Enhanced integration of training and research activities among participating organizations.
- Reinforced R&D capacity.
- Increased internationalization and attractiveness.
- Regular feedback of research outcomes to teaching and education in participating organizations.
