Event Details
Date: Tuesday, 15 September 2026
Time: 09:30 – 13:00 CET
Format: Live workshop on Zoom
Price: EUR 350
Why Attend
Most MSCA Doctoral Network proposals do not lose points on science. They lose points on:
Consortium balance
Training structure
Career development planning
Weak integration between academic and non-academic sectors
This live 3.5-hour workshop focuses directly on those weak points.
You work on your own proposal draft with evaluator-style feedback, while mapping common rejection patterns against your consortium design, training programme, implementation structure, and impact logic.
You leave with:
A clearer DN positioning
A stronger consortium structure
A more credible doctoral training programme
A secondment and supervision strategy
A practical writing calendar toward the November deadline
A free pre-submission evaluation before submission
This is live proposal work, not a lecture.
Is This For You?
A good fit if you are:
A coordinator preparing a Doctoral Network proposal for the 24 November 2026 deadline
A work package leader or research office supporting an MSCA DN application
Ready to bring:
A consortium outline
A draft training programme
A topic line or thematic direction
Not the right fit if:
The consortium has not yet been identified
In that case, the introductory webinar is the better place to start partner search and consortium planning.

01 — Full Proposal Structure
Guidance on building all three proposal sections in line with successful MSCA DN patterns.

04 — Doctoral Candidate Training Plan

05 — Secondment Strategy
Clear planning for who moves where, why, and with what training objective.

What You Will Not Get
No copy-paste template.
No guarantee of funding success.
No proxy writing service.
Your proposal remains your own work — professionally reviewed, challenged, and strengthened.
If the consortium structure is weak or the training programme appears generic or unbalanced, you will be told directly during the first hour and refunded on the spot.
Common Questions
Do I need a finished draft?
No. Three sections at first-draft level are enough. Bring what you have.
Can two people from the same organisation attend on one ticket?
Yes. Two named participants are included per ticket. Additional seats are EUR 100 each.
Is the recording shared?
Yes. The recording is sent within 24 hours and remains available for 30 days. Your draft is never shared.
What if I cannot attend on the date?
You may transfer your seat to the next cohort of the same course at no additional cost.
Refund policy?
Full refund up to 7 days before the event. After that, your ticket may be transferred to the next cohort or to a colleague.
