Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network is a training and research program developed by a consortium of European and international universities, research institutes, infrastructures, companies, and other socioeconomic actors.
This program provides high-quality training to recruited doctoral students by increasing transferable skills that enhance their employability and innovative potential beyond academia.
Through Industrial Doctorates, doctoral candidates will step outside academia and develop skills in industry and business by being jointly supervised by academic and non-academic organisations.
Although all research areas are eligible for funding, few Industrial Doctoral Networks focus on the social sciences and humanities. Cocoso provides PhD students with training under the joint supervision of non-governmental and public sector partners across Europe.
