ProgrammesThe Collaborative Doctoral Partnership programme (CDP) is an initiative of the Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) to establish strategic collaborations with Partner Institutions, including higher education institutions and research organisations. The programme facilitates dual PhD projects, where Partner Institutions collaborate with the JRC to jointly design, host, and supervise doctoral research projects.
The 2026 Call for Expressions of Interest invites Partner Institutions to participate in the Collaborative Doctoral Partnership programme encompasses eight Collaboration Themes:
The JRC is looking to establish new CDP partnerships around each Collaboration Theme, with each theme resulting in up to four collaborative PhD projects.

Funded by Horizon Europe, under call topic HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-80, INSPIRE is Europe's Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation. It relies on four Knowledge and Support Hubs to create knowledge in the areas of sustaining change, widening participation, intersectionality and innovation. Moreover, it supports stakeholders in their journey to become more inclusive through 12 Communities of Practice. In this way, INSPIRE aims to develop both cutting-edge knowledge and innovative strategies for gender equality in the European Research Area. INSPIRE brings together 14 partners. The Belgian partner in this project is UHasselt.
