Features of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA-PF)
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA-PF), funded by the European Commission, support the international mobility and training of researchers holding a PhD. Fellows undertake independent research projects in partnership with a host institution in a European Member State or Associated Country, selected during the application process.
These fellowships enable researchers to advance their careers by developing new skills and gaining international and collaborative research experience. The MSCA-PF grant provides allowances for living and travel expenses, as well as family, long-term leave, and special needs costs if applicable. It also covers research, networking, and training expenses, alongside management and indirect costs incurred by the host institution.
