MSCA COFUND
The scheme provides co-financing for new or existing doctoral programmes and postdoctoral fellowship programmes at national, regional, or international level, as well as at the level of individual institutions.
MSCA COFUND is a mono-beneficiary action, but it is possible to include academic and non-academic partners from all over the world. As with all MSC Actions, the scheme is entirely bottom-up and open to all areas of research and innovation.
