We would like to draw your attention upon the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks (MSCA ITN) call for application and invite you to the MSCA ITN Infoday organized at the University of Twente on Wednesday 30 October 2019.
What’s in for you?
On the MSCA ITN initiative
The MSCA ITN scheme supports competitively selected joint research training and/or doctoral programmes, implemented by partnerships of universities, research institutions, research infrastructures, businesses, SMEs, and other socio-economic actors from different countries across Europe and beyond.
Together with other academic and non-academic institutions, you can propose a research training network and apply for funding. If selected, you will cooperate to recruit early stage researchers and provide them with opportunities to undertake research in the context of a joint research training or doctoral programme. These programmes should respond to well-identified multi- and inter-disciplinary needs in defined scientific or technological areas, expose the researchers to the academic and non-academic sectors, and offer a comprehensive set of transferable skills relevant for innovation and long-term employability.
Being a bottom-up type of call, MSCA ITN allows participants to choose the topic of the programme, and offers different schemes suitable for different types of partnerships.
Deadline for the current round of application is 14 January 2020 at 17:00, Brussels local time.
On the MSCA ITN Infoday
The event aims at providing general information about the MSCA ITN initiative and a more in depth guidance on how to address specific components of the proposal, based also on common feedback from previous evaluation reports and input from successful ITN proposals at the UT.
The event is open to all UT researchers interested in the MSCA ITN initiative and is scheduled on Wednesday 30 October from 12.00 to 17.00
If you are interested in participating, please save the date in your agenda and register by contacting eu-office@utwente.nl by Monday 28 October.
