The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) support excellent research training, skills development, and international mobility for researchers at all career stages. Trough its main calls—Doctoral Networks, Postdoctoral Fellowships, Staff Exchanges, COFUND, and MSCA and Citizens—the programme strengthens Europe’s research landscape by fostering international collaboration, interdisciplinary learning, and the growth of highly skilled, globally connected researchers. 

Doctoral Networks are a key component, funding international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral doctoral programmes. They help institutions attract top talent, provide high-quality supervision, and equip PhD candidates with advanced scientific and transferable skills, preparing them for successful careers within and beyond academia.

The goal of MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships is to enhance the creative and innovative potential of researchers holding a PhD and who wish to acquire new skills through advanced training, international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary mobility. MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships will be open to excellent researchers of any nationality.
