This call supports competitively selected joint research training and/or doctoral programmes, implemented by partnerships of Universities, research institutions, research infrastructures, business, SMEs, and other socio-economic actors from different countries across Europe and the World. Partnerships take the form of collaborative European Training Networks (ETN), European Industrial Doctorates (EID) or European Joint Doctorates (EJD).

Please contact the RD International team if you'd like further information, or are considering being involved in an ITN proposal.
Important information
It is University Policy that all applications to Horizon 2020 are supported by the RD International team and approved through fEC ahead of submission. Please ensure that you contact the RD International team as early as possible to inform them of any applications to the EC. If Institutional approval to submit is not sought ahead of the deadline then this could result in the University refusing to host the project if awarded.
If awarded the University must sign a Declaration of Honour (DoH) as part of the EC requirements for commencing an H2020 grant. Within the DoH there are 7 declarations that the University must certify, 6 of which we are fully satisfied are true for every grant. However, for one of the declarations (#6) we must carry out further investigations before we are able to sign the document. Declaration #6 states the following, ‘I will inform the Agency of any other grant applications or grants from the EU or Euratom budget related to this action’.
To fulfil the request to certify this particular declaration if awarded you will be asked to complete a table with any related grants or applications that you feel might be relevant and sign an agreement to confirm this declaration is adhered to before the University will sign the DoH. The University has requested clarity on the term ‘Related’ but is yet to receive a satisfactory response so please assume any current or past EU grants or applications are related if there is any overlap whatsoever and list them as requested.
