Finding the right funded PhD can be confusing when each doctoral position is linked to a specific research project, host institution, and recruitment schedule. Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks (MSCA-DN) offer research training opportunities for candidates whose academic background fits the work of a participating network.

Winners share how they found suitable vacancies, tailored their applications to the advertised research topic, and demonstrated their readiness for international doctoral training. Read their stories to see how they presented research experience, approached interviews, and prepared for recruitment by a host organisation.
