Objectives

26. 2.
H2020: MSCA-IF for Supervisors

Short information session for supervisors on the opportunities presented by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships.

The scheme allows 1-2 years of funding particularly for postdoctoral fellows coming from abroad. For mobility to countries outside of Europe, the programme also funds one year of obligatory return phase back in the EU. The call deadline is in September, but we will introduce the opportunities already now, so that you, as supervisors, may either seek or identify potential incoming applicants and encourage young researchers in your groups to look for hosts and supervisors abroad.
