Doctoral networks developing AI methods for scientific researchWhy it matters
It is a strong fit for universities, research centres, companies and public-sector partners building international research capacity around AI for science. It also connects with Nodo Guanajuato's interest in global research collaboration, digital twins, civic AI, scientific infrastructure and talent mobility.
Who should look at it
Higher education institutions, research organisations, research infrastructures, companies, SMEs, public-sector organisations, local and regional governments, museums and other socio-economic actors that can join a European doctoral network consortium.
Application details
Applicants submit through the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks 2026 call and declare interest in being considered for RAISE Doctoral Networks for AI in Science.
Topic HORIZON-RAISE-2026-01-03 focuses on AI in science. Proposals must show that AI is integral to the doctoral research, not just a generic data-processing tool.
The broader MSCA Doctoral Networks 2026 call lists EUR 593 million for more than 130 projects and around 1,950 doctoral candidates. The RAISE pilot topic is listed separately with a dedicated AI-in-science budget.
Doctoral candidates must develop or significantly participate in developing innovative AI systems, models, tools or methodologies that change how scientific information is analysed and advance the state of the art in the doctoral research discipline.
Useful for consortia combining universities, research institutions, companies, public bodies and other actors across Europe and beyond. Non-European partners may participate under Horizon Europe rules, but funding eligibility must be checked carefully.
