The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
Overview | The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) supports researchers from all over the world at all stages of their careers, with a focus on their training, skills and career development. The MSCA also support institutions through excellent doctoral and postdoctoral programmes and collaborative projects. They also foster cooperation beyond academia, notably with industry and SMEs. The objective of Postdoctoral Fellowships funded by the MSCA is to support researchers’ careers and foster excellence in research. The Postdoctoral Fellowships action targets researchers holding a PhD who wish to carry out their research activities abroad, acquire new skills and develop their careers. PFs help researchers gain experience in other countries, disciplines and non-academic sectors. Funding opportunities can be viewed here. |
