The Joint Research Centre invites university representatives, higher education professionals and PhD supervisors to the launch event of the 2026 Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships (CDP) Call.
The CDP is a JRC initiative that establishes strategic collaborations with higher education institutions and universities. The programme supports dual PhD projects, where universities and institutions partner with the JRC to jointly design, host and supervise doctoral research.
The launch event will take place in Brussels on the afternoon of 23 June 2026. It will present the programme and the new collaborative research themes for institutions interested in participating in the call. The event will also include an expert panel on doctoral research and science-for-policy, as well as space for exchange on the evolving higher education landscape in Europe.
Places are limited and registration is required.
More information and registration are available via the European Commission registration form.
