Welcome
Welcome to The International Doctoral Programme ‘Interdisciplinary Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action for Health' (INTERACT). INTERACT is supported by the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme and will recruit 66 talented fellows over three calls during 2025-2027. INTERACT is a unique opportunity for early career researchers to join an international and interdisciplinary PhD program within the STEM disciplines. The programme offers:
- Fully funded 36-month fellowships with attractive employment and salary conditions
- Research training in an international top research centre/institute (main research supervisor) and formalized collaboration with one of the 7 participating institutes (co-supervisor)
- Elaborate training in transferable skills and personal career development support

RESEARCH FOCUS
INTERACT addresses an unmet need for formalized interdisciplinary STEM research training, breaking down silos and equipping fellows with both disciplinary-specific expertise and interdisciplinary knowledge with potential for solving complex challenges in health.
The programme will be one of the first in Europe to set up a model for convergence research training and will contribute to the understanding of methodologies for successful interdisciplinary research. INTERACT will attract international talent and support that Europe remains at the forefront of transformative interdisciplinary health research, with potential to combat cancer and neurological diseases.
Coordinated by the Biotech Research and Innovation Centre (BRIC), the program will engage international experts to ensure independent merit-based selection, and to provide guidance on convergence research, interdisciplinary collaborations, open science and entrepreneurship. 11 associated partners will provide training, career development activities, and networking opportunities, broadening the fellows’ career perspectives.
CANDIDATE ELIGIBILITY
Candidates can have any nationality but must undertake transnational mobility according to the MSCA rules. Thus, candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activity in Denmark for more than 12 months in the 36 months prior to the call deadline.

The master’s degree needs to be completed so that the diploma is issued no later than start of the fellowship.
Candidates can switch to another field of research than their master’s but must have sufficient understanding/skills to address the potential research project.
To ensure equal opportunities, exceptions to the 4-year rule are made for applicants with documented career breaks (parental leave, illness, mandatory military/civil service).
