The Irish national support service for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), based at Research Ireland, will host a webinar on the MSCA 2026 Doctoral Networks funding programme on the 19 May, 11:00 (local Irish time).

The MSCA is the European Union’s reference programme for doctoral education and postdoctoral training. The programme is open to all disciplines and sectors and funds pan-European intersectoral consortia of organisations – universities, research institutions, businesses, SMEs, charities, etc. – to implement doctoral training programmes. The objective of these networks is to train highly skilled doctoral candidates through excellent research and innovation projects, stimulate their creativity, enhance their innovation capacities, and boost their employability in the long-term.

The webinar will feature an overview of the Doctoral Networks 2026 programme, delivered by Shana Impens from the European Research Executive Agency (REA), followed by examples of successful projects delivered by our case studies:
