Our 19 doctoral candidates are now in posts across 12 countries, advancing the science and technology of the human voice.
Meet the Doctoral Candidates
The Voice Communication Sciences (VoCS), a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network (GA 101168998), has officially started. Nineteen Doctoral Candidates (DCs) have taken up their positions at universities, research institutes, and industry partners in 12 countries. Over the next four years, they will investigate how humans perceive and produce voices, and how this knowledge can power safer, fairer, and more natural voice technologies.
The program combines advanced methodological training with hands-on research and intersectoral placements. Early activities include onboarding, literature reviews, and local lab rotations. From 2026, 19 DCs will conduct coordinated experiments and secondments across partner sites, with shared datasets and open resources released along the way.
