MSCA: 2018 Call for Innovative Training Networks (ITN) Open
ITN are the main strand of funding in Horizon 2020 aimed at supporting Early Stage Researchers (doctoral researchers). The scheme supports joint training and/or doctoral programmes implemented by partnerships of universities, research institutions, research infrastructures, businesses and other socio-economic actors. There are three different strands to apply for: European Training Networks (ETN), European Industrial Doctorates (EID) and European Joint Doctorates (EJD).
The 2018 call documents, including the Guide for Applicants, and links to the online submission, are available on the Participant Portal. The call is based on the pre-published MSCA Work Programme 2018-20. The European Commission has made the document public before its formal adoption to provide potential participants with early information on up-coming calls. As it has still not been officially adopted or endorsed by the Commission, information and topic descriptions indicated may change in the final version of the document expected to be published in late October 2018.
