The UK Research Office (UKRO), in its capacity as UK National Contact Point (NCP) for the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), is holding two information webinars for organisations and individuals interested in applying to the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024 call (deadline on 11 September 2024).
Postdoctoral Fellowships under MSCA
Postdoctoral Fellowships help experienced researchers advance their careers and gain new skills through training, intersectoral and international mobility.
Postdoctoral Fellowships are aimed at researchers who are already in possession of a doctoral degree, and at the call deadline have a maximum of 8 years of full-time equivalent research experience. Career breaks, time spent outside/not on research-related activities, part-time working, time spent outside of the EU (for reintegrating researchers), and refugee status will be taken into consideration.
Aim of the event
The two webinars will provide attendees with a comprehensive overview of the 2024 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship Call. They will provide attendees with all the information needed to submit a successful application, including the MSCA eligibility criteria, available budget, and submission and evaluation rules, as well as practical advice on proposal writing.
The call will close on 11 September 2024.
Who should attend?
The webinars are aimed at researchers and other staff in UK academic and non-academic organisations, including industries and SMEs, who are interested in the 2024 MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship Call as a host organisation or potential supervisor. It is also intended for researchers from the UK, across Europe and beyond who intend to apply with a UK host institution.
