SOCANTH /// CLOSED
European Partnership for Qualitative Research Training (Social Anthropology)
Marie Curie SocAnth is an EU funded international doctoral programme for PhD students and early-stage researchers aiming to promote the development of anthropological research and teaching in Central, Eastern and South-eastern Europe. It gives access to a training programme offered by a network of four universities and one research institute in four different European countries. This programme builds research training in anthropology by linking trainers in New Member and Associated states with western institutions.
The 'SocAnth' network comprises of University College London (UCL) and Goldsmith's College, Britain (GSM); Central European University, Hungary (CEU); Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Germany (MPISA) and Babes-Bolyai University, Romania (BBU).

PUBPOLTRANS /// CLOSED
Public Policy, market organization and transition economies
The aim of this early-stage research training project is to prepare students for careers in teaching, research or government services and to prepare researchers for active participation in the analysis of the fundamental economic questions facing mixed-market regulated and transition economies. The programme provides state-of-the-art training in the fields of public policy, industrial organization and transition economics. By providing effective training in the proposed fields with the highest standards to future academic and public sector personnel, this program will make a contribution to the quality of public policy in EU.
PubPolTrans network partner institutions are Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium; Economics Institute, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic; Charles University in Prague, CERGE; Central European University Budapest Foundation

AQUATRAIN /// CLOSED
Geogenic chemicals in groundwaters and soils
The AquaTRAIN research training network addresses key research issues underpinning the European Legislative Framework on groundwater and soil protection. The objectives of AquaTRAIN are to provide early stage researchers with (a) analytical, geochemical, microbiological and environmental management training necessary for the technical implementation of EU policies on groundwater and soil protection; (b) exposure to innovative developments. AquaTRAIN will serve the EU by addressing fragmentation and training future scientists who will have a sound multidisciplinary grounding in the factors required to implement existing and forthcoming EU policy on groundwater protection, as well as having exposure to state-of-the-art technologies and ideas that may inform future developments in EU policy and regulation aimed at protecting a vital and irreplaceable resource for the EU.

PETAF
Perspectival Thoughts and Facts
PETAF aims to serve as a European research and training platform for joint philosophical research on perspectivalism in thought and language and its consequences for our conception of objective, mind-independent reality. PETAF comprises seven full network partners and five associated partners, four of which from industry. It is to provide Early Stage Researchers with the skills necessary for meeting the demands of top research in this area of philosophy, and the opportunity to apply and enhance these skills, and to acquire further, complementary skills, in professional contexts outside academia. PETAF thus seeks to significantly increase the career opportunities and job prospects of its recruited ESRs, both inside and outside academia.
University partners: Universitat de Barcelona, Spain; University of St.Andrews, United Kingdom; Université de Genève, Switzerland; École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, France; University of London, United Kingdom; Stockholms Universitet, Sweden; Kozep-europai Egyetem, Hungary;
Associated partners: Thera, Centre de Llenguatges i Computació, S.L, Spain; Difusión, Centro de Investigacion y Publicación de Idiomas, S.L., Spain; Prover Technology AB, Sweden ; Editions de Condé, France; University of Aberdeen, United Kingdom
