Objective
TRANSFORM addresses the challenge of urban mobility from a comprehensive view of how urban mobility cultures evolve over time, the triggers of change and the socio-spatial effects, focusing on concrete aspects of the interaction between urban and transport systems (e.g. RE-City and TOD-is-RUR projects).
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions fund excellent research and innovation, equipping researchers at all career stages with new knowledge and skills through mobility across borders and exposure to different sectors and disciplines. The MSCA help build Europe’s research and innovation capacity by investing in the long-term careers of outstanding researchers.
Participating institutions define a collaborative research project in which all PhD candidates contribute. The individual projects are carefully interconnected to foster shared knowledge, strengthen collaboration among researchers, and establish long-term strategic partnerships.
TRANSFORM PhD Network is funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
Additionally, the MSCA fund the development of high-quality doctoral and postdoctoral training programmes, as well as collaborative research projects worldwide. This contributes to the structuring of higher education institutions, research centers, and non-academic organizations. TRANSFORM’s Doctoral Network is specifically funded under the call:HORIZON-MSCA-2023-DN-01-01.
MSCA Doctoral Network
MSCA Doctoral Networks is a prestigious funding program designed to support early-stage researchers. It provides PhD candidates with the opportunity to train at top-tier institutions, emphasizing the intersection between professional practice and traditional academic research.
Mobility
The MSCA supports the mobility of researchers between countries, sectors and disciplines to acquire new knowledge, skills and competences.
Career guidance
The MSCA promotes effective supervision and adequate mentoring and career guidance. This contributes to creating a supportive environment for the researchers to work.
Open to the world
The MSCA are open to all domains of research and innovation and encourage international cooperation to set-up strategic collaborations.
TRANSFORM is a research initiative that aims to train a new generation of researchers who understand the notion of transitions in urban mobility cultures as a planning and policy paradigm.
