MSCA Doctoral Networks 2024 – call open!
Reference: HORIZON-MSCA-2024-DN-01-01

MSCA Doctoral Networks 2024 - News & Novelties
The Marie Curie Doctoral Networks (MSCA-DN) are open for submission! The program was put in place by the European Commission to foster the next generation of excellent researchers in Europe.
This year, 608,60 million EUR were allocated to this call.
The networks are expected to respond to needs in various R&I areas, expose the researchers to the academic and non-academic sectors, and offer training in research-related, as well as transferable skills and competencies relevant for innovation and long-term employability (e.g., entrepreneurship, commercialization of results, Intellectual Property Rights, communication).
Why are the Doctoral Networks so interesting?
The Marie Curie Doctoral Networks are designed to combine the expertise of academic and private institutions, and their main aim is to increase the interdisciplinarity and employability of future generations of scientists. The allocated funding covers the salary of up to 15 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) from European and Associated countries, plus mobility allowance making their move to a new country easier.
The grants also cover research & management costs for the respective hosting institutions. The Beneficiaries and Partners of the projects work together on a common project goal, thereby transferring a diverse skill set to their DCs.
Deadline for application: 27th November 2024
What can the MIC do for your project?
As a center of innovation and technology development, the MIC has already participated in several Doctoral Networks, using its expertise in microfluidics to facilitate the translation of laboratory protocols to an idustrial stage.
Specifically, the DC at the MIC can work on:
- Automated cell perfusion, 3D-cell culture and organoids, modeling of cancer and the identification of novel (bio-)markers.
- Flow chemistry – miniaturization of chemical reactors, mixing and temperature control
- Droplet generation and encaspulation – whether it is single cell analysis or the study of the origin of life in discrete compartments!
