PALPROX MSCA Doctoral Network recrutiment

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) is a prestigious European Union programme funding, among other things, doctoral training, implemented within the Horizon Europe framework.

Within MSCA, our Faculty—together with partner universities from, among others, Spain, Portugal, and France—is involved in the PALPROX project.
