The programme supports doctoral programmes implemented by international consortia involving universities, research organisations, companies and other partners. A consortium must comprise at least three organisations from three different countries.
Projects may last up to 48 months and must involve the training of at least one doctoral candidate by each beneficiary. Three formats are available: standard doctoral networks, industrial doctoral programmes with at least 50 per cent of the training taking place in the non-academic sector, and joint doctoral programmes leading to multiple degrees.
The total budget for the MSCA DN 2026 call is €593.03 million. The call opened on 28 May 2026, and applications are being accepted until 24 November 2026.
Funding is provided on the basis of fixed unit costs, with a 100 per cent reimbursement rate for eligible participants.
Separately, as part of Horizon Europe, the RAISE DN 2026 pilot initiative has been launched, focusing on projects that integrate artificial intelligence into scientific research.
The webinar also featured insights from participants in previously funded MSCA DN projects and provided guidance on preparing applications, including consortium formation, meeting evaluation criteria and project preparation in advance.
