The Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships (CDP) is an initiative of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) to establish strategic collaborations with higher education institutions (HEIs/universities) that grant doctoral degrees (PhD).
CDP is characterised by research excellence and international reputation.
The purpose of CDP is to train a new generation of doctoral students in science and technology.
A specific focus lies on the science-policy interface.
HEIs/Universities
A first call for expression of interest for the CDP pilot phase was launched at the end of 2016. A second call has started in 2020.
HEIs/universities located in EU Member States and countries associated to the EU Research Programme Horizon 2020 are eligible for participation to the CDP.
HEI/universities can apply to one or more thematic fields with several proposals, each proposal submitted on a separate application form.
