The European Joint Doctorate (EJD) ADAPTED is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network project funded by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement no. 956909).

ADAPTED is a consortium of six European Universities, four important internationally active European development organisations and think tanks and six African partner universities.

Under the umbrella topic "Eradicating Poverty: Pathways towards Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals", ADAPTED delivers high-level training to 15 high achieving Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to bridge the existing knowledge gap in understanding poverty dynamics and by equipping the ESRs with a unique skills portfolio that is equally attractive for research institutions, development organisations and internationally active firms.

The IEE acts as coordinator of ADAPTED and IEE members act as supervisors of 8 ADAPTED fellows.
