• Special needs allowance for disabled researchers – as of Q1 2019
• Budget increase notably for ITN and IF
• Joint research training/doctoral programmes implemented by partnerships of universities, research institutions, businesses, SMEs and other socio-economic actors from different countries across Europe (and beyond).
• Focus on scientific/ technological knowledge through research on individual/personalised projects
• Exposure to non-academic sector
• Networking activities
• Transferable skills training e.g. communication, research management, IP, ethics, societal outreach, entrepreneurship

7 principles for Innovative Doctoral Training
III. MSCA – ITN 2018: Excellent doctoral training
III. MSCA - ITN 2018: Key Concepts
13
• Research experience
• Mobility rule Reseachers´
elegibility
• Implementation modes Consortium elegibility
EARLY STAGE RESEARCHES (ESR)
ESR should be in their first 4 years of research experience and no doctoral degree at the time of their first recruitment in the ITN.
Full time equivalent research, FTE: is measured form the date when a researcher obtained the degree which would formally entitle him/her to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the researcher is recruited, irrespective of whether or not a doctorate is or was ever envisaged.
Mobility rule: could not have resided or carried out their main activity in the country of the host institution for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the first contract in the ITN .
Time spent in a country as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status is not taking into consideration.
No nationality restrictions

III. ITN Researchers´Elegibility
III. ITN Consortia: Beneficiaries vs. Partner Organisations
16
Beneficiary
• Signs of the Grant Agreement with the EC
• Receives funds directly from the EC
• Recruits researchers
• Hosts researchers in their premises / offer secondments, training activities
• Participates in the Supervisory Board
Partner Organisation
• No contractual link with EC, no EC funds
• No recruitment of researchers
• Hosts researchers in their premises / offer secondments, training activities, Knowledge transfer…
• Participates in the Supervisory Board
All Modes ITN: Partner Organisations need to include a Letter of Commitment (section 7 – Template B) European Joint Doctorates (EJD): Beneficiaries Letter of Commitment template (annex 6)
NEWS 2018
ACADEMIC SECTOR
• public or private High Education Institutions (HEI) awarding academic degrees
• public or private non-profit research organisations whose principal mission is research
• International European interest organisations (IEIOs) http://eiroforum.org/
NON –ACADEMIC SECTOR
any other socio-economic actor not included in the academic sector definition (i.e: SMEs, enterprises, NGOs, hospitals, government bodies, museums…)
