We are pleased to announce that the ERA Fellowship Call (HORIZON-WIDERA-2026-05) in the Widening Participation and Strengthening the European Research Area (WIDERA) Work Programme has opened on 9 April. The call deadline is 9 September 2026.
This action builds on the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026 action (HORIZON-MSCA-PF-2026). The target group are host organisations located in Widening countries.
Fellowships should be provided to excellent researchers undertaking cross-border mobility. Applications must be made jointly by the researcher together with a legal entity in the academic or non-academic sector located in a Widening country.
ERA Fellowships should take place in a Widening country. Fellowships are open to researchers of any nationality who wish to engage in R&I projects by either going to the EU from any country in the world or moving within the EU to a Widening country.
Want to know more? The UK National Contact Point (NCP) provides information and advice on participating WIDERA calls.
