ProgrammesThe European Research Executive Agency (REA) and the Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC) of the European Commission organize an online information event on Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks (DN) 2026 call. The DNs are a key part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions under the Framework Programme Horizon Europe. There are three different implementation modes: Standard Doctoral Networks (DNs), Joint Doctorates (JDs) and Industrial Doctorates (IDs).
RAISE DN 2026 call – Resources for AI science in Europe – is part of the MSCA DN 2026 call, where AI is central to the research. It provides an additional change for funding for projects that aim to apply AI in their scientific research & for those focused on developing new AI tools, systems and methodologies.
The MSCA DN 2026 Call information event aims at informing all potential applicants and stakeholders about all important requirements for 2026 and promoting the ID and JD modes. The participants will have the opportunity to raise their questions through Slido, once the call opens on 28 May 2026, and during the Q&A session of the event.

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
