The UK Research Office (UKRO) will hold an information webinar series for organisations interested in applying to the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks (DN) 2023 call. This call will open on 30 May and close on 28 November 2023.
These sessions will provide attendees with all information needed to submit a successful application to this call, from the eligibility criteria to the available budget, the submission and evaluation criteria, and practical guidance on writing a proposal.
They are aimed at researchers and other staff in UK academic and non-academic organisations, including but not limited to NGOs, charities, policy organisations, industries, SMEs, and research infrastructures who are interested in finding out more about the call.
The Doctoral Networks fund doctoral programmes designed to respond to well-identified needs in various research and innovation areas.
