The MSCA-DN course will equip you with all the necessary tools you need in order to compose a competitive MSCA-DN application. The course focuses on providing participants with a comprehensive overview of the MSCA-DN’s fundamental requirements. In addition, the course will introduce you the necessary MSCA-DN elements for implementing an excellent project, such as supervision and mobility (including secondments). Together with the description of the MSCA-DN technical requirements, the course will provide plenty of useful tips and insights from our work with MSCA-DN applicants specifically, and previous Framework Programs (FP4-7, H2020) at large.
