The EU Commission has announced results of the 2024 call for the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks, awarding a total of EUR 608.6 million to fund 149 doctoral programmes across Europe.
The awards will provide training and career development opportunities for over 1,800 doctoral candidates.
The selected programmes cover all scientific disciplines and will help researchers develop both academic and transferable skills. Among them, eight Industrial Doctorates will offer training in collaboration with businesses and public sector organisations, while eight Joint Doctorates will provide integrated training leading to joint or multiple degrees.
“We have always been clear: in Europe, we need talents,” said Commissioner for Research Ekaterina Zaharieva: “They are at the foundation of our research and innovation ecosystem. We are committed to making Europe attractive to researchers by improving working and employment conditions and career prospects.”
The MSCA Doctoral Networks are part of the Horizon Europe programme.
The next call for MSCA Doctoral Networks will open on 28 May 2025.
An information day will take place on 24 June 2025.

MSCA Doctoral Networks implement doctoral programmes by partnerships of organisations from different sectors across Europe and beyond. They train highly skilled doctoral candidates, stimulate their creativity, enhance their innovation capacities and boost their employability in the long term.
