MedDevDoc stands as the successor to the esteemed Industry-Academia Training, Career Development, and Mobility Studentship Programme at CÚRAM, Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) Centre for Research in Medical Devices, following the legacy of MedDevDoc 101126640 (Dec 2023 to Nov 2028). We aim to equip biomedical doctoral candidates with multidisciplinary, intersectoral, and transferable skills for spearheading next-generation medical device development.

Students enrolled in the MedDevDoc Programme will undergo comprehensive education at one of 9 renowned CÚRAM academic organisations, including the University of Galway (GALWAY), University College Dublin (UCD), The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), Trinity College Dublin (TCD), University of Limerick (UL), Dublin City University (DCU), Technological University of the Shannon (TUS), University College Cork (UCC), National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT), and Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin).

Moreover, MedDevDoc collaborates closely with CÚRAM’s industry partners (Associated Partners), who play a crucial role in providing supervision and training during intersectoral secondments.

As part of the prestigious Marie Skłodowksa-Curie Actions (MSCA), an initiative under Horizon Europe by the European Commission, the MedDevDoc program offers unparalleled opportunities for research training, career development, and knowledge exchange across borders and sectors.
