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.
More information, including on who can apply, selection criteria and the application form can be found here. The application deadline is 25 September 2026, 23.59 (CET).

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) European Innovative Training Network “PBNv2 - Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles” started in May 2017. Their research has the shared objective of investigating the possibilities to decrease pass-by noise of vehicles.
The project is a collaboration between 17 research institutions and companies in the European automotive R&D and provides a learning environment for 14 PhD fellows. The Belgian partner is the Noise and Vibration Research Group of KU Leuven, and this project is one of the many Horizon 2020 MSCA Innovative Training Networks that the KU Leuven research group participates in.
