This is a report from the Cluster Event with Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Networks (ITN) European Industrial Doctorates (EID). On 10 November 2022, the European Commission European Research Executive Agency (REA) organised a cluster event gathering over 160 actors from 75 MSCA ITN EID projects funded under Horizon 2020. The participants represented both the academic and non-academic sectors, which is essential for this mode of MSCA ITN projects.

A key goal of the meeting was to document successes, good practices and lessons learnt, as well as provide recommendations to help improve and enhance the efficiency and impact of the programme for fellows, industry and academia in the future, thus contributing more effectively to the corresponding EU priorities. These conclusions are also applicable to the MSCA Doctoral Networks (DN) Industrial Doctorates (ID) programme in Horizon Europe.
