Overview
The Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) EXACT is an EU wide Ph.D. and professional training programme for young researchers, academics and professionals in the field of EU External Action funded by the European Commission.
EXACT provides the opportunity to realise an individual research project leading to a double Ph.D. ("co-tutelle") issued by two universities.
Starting in October 2010 EXACT provides training for 12 participants for a period of three years including local and network-wide activities provided by the partner institutions of the network.
The programme offers academic and professional training as well as a network of contacts throughout academia and the private sector.
Who can apply?
Being aware of the relevance and the demand for experts on EU External Action, EXACT targets participants of any nationality and age from different relevant disciplines dealing with EU foreign policy, such as political science, law, and economics.
EXACT is designed to train university graduates, who have obtained their first degree (Master or equivalent) entitling her/him to embark on a doctorate no earlier than May 2008. In other words, applicants having graduated before May 2008 are not eligible, without any exception. Applicants must have proficient knowledge of English and must not have obtained a Ph.D. already.
Conditions of Nationality and Mobility of Researchers
Researchers are required to undertake trans-national mobility (i.e. move from one country to another) when taking up their appointment. Two general rules apply to the appointment of researchers in the EXACT network:
Researchers can be nationals of any country other than the country of the premises of the host organisation where they will carry out the final phase of the EXACT programme.
Example: A Czech national is not allowed to carry out the EXACT final phase (April 2012 - Sep 2013) at the Charles University Prague.
Researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) for more than 12 months in the country of the university of the EXACT final phase (April 2012 - Sep 2013) in the period from March 2009 to September 2010.
