The UK National Contact Point for the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) will hold an online information webinar for the MSCA Doctoral Networks 2026 call on 18 June 2026, from 10:00 to 12:00.

The event is free of charge, although registration is required. The registration link is available on the webinar information page.

The MSCA Doctoral Networks 2026 call has recently opened, and proposals may be submitted until the deadline of 24 November 2026.

Further information is available on the MSCA Doctoral Networks 2026 call page, including:

• topic description;
• call updates;
• links to the online proposal submission system;
• Q&A sections; and
• topic conditions and supporting documents.

Additional information about the scheme is also available on the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions webpage.

Please note that BU PIs intending to apply for this call will need to obtain informal prior agreement from their faculty regarding a potential tuition fee waiver for PhD candidates should the application be successful.

Apart from support with costing and internal approvals, support from RIS may be limited due to the high volume of Horizon Europe calls closing during the autumn period. If you are considering applying, please submit your ItB by mid-September at the latest so that we can plan workloads efficiently and provide the necessary support in a timely manner.

If you have any questions relating to this call or Horizon Europe more generally, please do not hesitate to contact the Strategic & International Research Facilitator directly.
