Preparation of an MSCA Doctoral Networks application in acoustofluidics

Purpose and goal

The purpose of this project is to plan and prepare an MSCA Doctoral Networks application focused on acoustofluidics in the life sciences. MSCA Doctoral Networks involve a highly competitive and complex application process, requiring the coordination of a consortium comprising multiple participants. This preparatory project aims to design the overall structure and implementation strategy for the main application. A central goal is to produce a well-developed and coherent proposal.

Expected effects and result

The expected outcome is a comprehensive, coherent, and high-quality proposal that demonstrates research excellence, innovative training, and long-term impact through international, intersectoral, and interdisciplinary collaboration. It is also expected that the project will facilitate intensive collaboration among all participating institutions to align their contributions, define roles and responsibilities, and ensure synergy across disciplines and sectors.

Planned approach and implementation

This project is structured around four main work packages (WPs): (1) design of the proposal structure and WPs, (2) proposal writing, (3) proposal revision, and (4) proposal submission. The participants include multiple beneficiaries within the consortium formed for the network, along with research funding advisors from Lund University. All participants will collaborate closely throughout the project to ensure coherence, alignment of objectives, and the timely completion of each project phase.
