Stronger, smoother, sustainable? A decade of MSCA Joint Doctorates (S7.12)

14:00 – 15:00 CEST, 19 September 2024 ‐ 1 hour

Fishbowl session

European joint and collaborative programmes have had many different formats, scopes and ‘brands’ in their long history. This session will critically review the policy actions focused on joint (doctoral) programmes, zooming in on the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Joint Doctorates (JD), which celebrate their 10th anniversary in 2024. An MSCA joint doctorate coordinator will give a hands-on account of the work done to set up and run the programme and ensure its sustainability. An MSCA fellow will share her experience as a doctoral candidate in an MSCA JD programme.
