SAPIENS Network is an Innovative Training Network (ITN) financed by the EU's Horizon2020 Marie Curie Programme. It is the most extensive PhD programme on sustainability and procurement worldwide. It will add value to our understanding of using public procurement as an instrument to foster sustainability and advance the field of public procurement law, economics, and policy and its application in practice.

This prestigious PhD programme facilitates successfully completing its objectives through competitive salaries and uniquely generous funds for training and networking across Europe.

Coordinated by Professor Roberto Caranta from the Law Department of the University of Turin, SAPIENS assembles a distinguished group of leading academics who will supervise an outstanding cohort of Early Stage Researches (ESRs) working on doctoral projects in Turin, Birmingham, Budapest, Cluj Napoca, Copenhagen, Gaevle, Greenwich, Hasselt, Lodz, and Rome.

The employability of these 15 ESRs will be enhanced by a secondment programme which will expose them to work experience in international organisations, contracting authorities, lobbying bodies, and think tanks. The ESRs will also benefit from a unique SAPIENS PhD training programme provided by partners inside and outside academia. Finally, the impact of the research findings of SAPIENS will be promoted by the network's outreach and dissemination programme.
