Results in brief
Programme for EArly-stage Researchers in Lille
The PEARL doctoral programme (Programme for Early-stage Researchers in Lille), co-funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and the French National Research Agency (ANR), addressed a key challenge for the European Research Area: the need to train early-stage researchers capable of combining scientific excellence with interdisciplinary approaches, international openness and inter-sectoral experience, in order to respond effectively to major societal challenges. In a rapidly evolving scientific and socio-economic context, doctoral training must go beyond disciplinary boundaries and traditional academic pathways. PEARL responded to this need by offering a structured and attractive doctoral programme embedded within the Université Lille Nord-Europe (ULNE) ecosystem, providing PhD fellows with high-quality research environments, strong international exposure and tailored career development support. The overall objectives of the project were to train a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers, to enhance their employability through international and inter-sectoral mobility and transferable skills training, and to contribute to the strategic ambition of I-SITE ULNE to strengthen its international visibility and academic excellence. In conclusion, PEARL successfully funded and supported 29 PhD fellows who carried out high-level research projects aligned with major societal challenges. The action demonstrated the relevance and effectiveness of an integrated doctoral training model combining excellence in research, mobility, skills development and institutional structuring. The PEARL approach has been fully integrated into the University of Lille’s doctoral strategy, ensuring the sustainability of its outcomes beyond the end of the European funding.

Project objective
PEARL, proposed by I-SITE ULNE, will target three main objectives: (1) training, in an interdisciplinary context, a generation of early-stage researchers (PhD students) for scientific and technical excellence and equipping them with unique skills in terms of transferable background, fully build on selected societal challenges needs. (2) implementing innovative actions aimed at boosting the careers of PhD students, exposing them to inter-sectorial (via a strong network of public and private organisations) and international mobility (taking advantage of a unique cross-border campus), and at enabling them to develop skills via an efficient mentoring and managerial scheme and (3) helping I-SITE ULNE to achieve its main goal: to be ranked among Europe's 50 leading reference universities and to be recognized at the highest international level.Meeting European standards for doctoral studies, PEARL aims to welcome and guide recruited PhD students in the best conditions, provide them with a secure and unparalleled environment to carry out their research. The selected scientific domains proposed by PEARL combine science and scientific solutions with societal approaches to build tomorrow’s inclusive society promoting citizen well-being, aiming at transferring fundamental discoveries to applied technologies, to produce tangible innovation in society. PEARL will offer top quality conditions and a highly attractive environment of excellence, intended to fuel student’s desire to learn, as well as boost their taste for entrepreneurship and, creativity in research. The interdisciplinary / transnational character of the PhD projects, along with international and inter-sectorial secondments will be an asset for the future employability of PhD students both in and outside academia.
