EVOMG-DN EvoMG-DN is a European Doctoral Network funded by the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), composed of 14 beneficiaries and associated partners from both academic and non-academic sectors.

🚨🚨🚨
Two super well-funded PhD grants from our MSCA Doctoral Network @evomg-dn.bsky.social at our lab at @melisupf.bsky.social, @crg.eu and the @evomg-bcn.bsky.social Program.

If you're excited about evolution, genomics and biomedical research, this is your DN! 😃
