This initiative builds on the MSCA Doctoral Networks 2026 call and offers additional funding opportunities for projects integrating artificial intelligence in scientific research, as well as for those developing advanced AI tools, systems and methodologies.
Participants will be invited to submit their questions via Slido, from the opening of the call on 28 May 2026 until the closing of the live Q&A session.
The online event will open with a welcome address and introductory remarks, followed by detailed presentations of the MSCA DN 2026 and RAISE DN 2026 calls, and will conclude with a live Q&A session.
MSCA Doctoral Networks
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks are a cornerstone of Horizon Europe, implementing doctoral programmes through partnerships of universities, research institutions and infrastructures, businesses including SMEs, and other socio-economic actors from across Europe and beyond.
These programmes promote international, intersectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration, equipping doctoral candidates with advanced research skills, as well as transferable competences relevant for innovation and long-term employability.
Doctoral Networks are implemented through 3 modes
- Standard Doctoral Networks (DNs)
- Industrial Doctorates (IDs)
- Joint Doctorates (JDs).
