MSCA awards €429.4 million for doctoral programmes
On 16 March 2023, the European Commission announced the results of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions 2022 (MSCA) call for Doctoral Networks. A total of €429.4 million will be awarded to 149 excellent doctoral programmes to train over 1,650 highly skilled doctoral candidates, boost their talents and their long-term employability. Among these, 14 Industrial Doctorates will train researchers and develop their skills outside academia, in particular in industry, businesses and the public sector, whilst 12 Joint Doctorates will offer integrated training leading to joint or multiple degrees. Selected programmes span all scientific disciplines and will conduct research in areas such as the conception of advanced materials and components for novel energy storage systems, the integration of Artificial Intelligence in road safety research, or the study of new therapies against cancer stem cell-driven relapse and metastasis.
Selected projects are coordinated by organisations in 17 countries. Italy is leading the list with 20 projects, followed by Germany (19) and Belgium (18). 6 projects are coordinated by Austrian organisations.
