Last chance for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks coming up!

Time is running out on ITN proposal

Are you looking to collaborate with (inter)national colleagues or companies while enhancing training possibilities for your students? Would you like to jointly train PhD students on skills and international experience so they will have lots of opportunities for professional development, within ánd outside academia? Pursue an innovative and applied research program with collaborators all across Europe?

Last deadline

The very last deadline for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks (MSCA-ITN) was at January 14th this year. This competitive but very generous program was part of Horizon2020, that will finish this year. While the Marie Skłodowska-Curie program will continue in Horizon Europe from 2021 onwards, it is as yet unclear how exactly it will be filled the coming year. 

Focus on training

Many researchers mistake the ITN for a “regular” research consortium and add the training of PhD students as an extra feature. This is the wrong strategy: The international training with strong links to industry is the main relevant feature, the ground-breaking science comes second. So the trick is to think from a training perspective and create a consortium that has the potential to train multi-disciplinary researchers that will then guide the way to new scientific breakthroughs.

This way, European trainees, supervisors, universities, and science as a whole will all benefit!
