Grant call details:

Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions are among Europe's most competitive and prestigious research and innovation fellowships. They aim to support the career development and training of researchers in all scientific disciplines through international and intersectoral mobilitiy. The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions promote interdisciplinary research and international collaborations, supporting scientists from not only within Europe but also across the globe.

In the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, an experienced researcher (fellow) with a minimum of PhD level experience moves to an institution in another country (host), where he or she works with a supervisor to deliver a specific project involving research, innovation, training and networking activities.  Both parties must collaborate on the application and the supervisor should offer appropriate supervision and support. Regular meetings between the supervisor and the researcher should be the backbone for the planning and implementation of the research and innovation plan.

Proposals should be built around a concrete plan of training-through-research at the host organisation (Career Development Plan). In addition to research activities and objectives, this should address the researcher's training and career needs, including training on transferable skills, planning for publications and participation in conferences.

In University of Burgos we are interested in hosting ambitious and creative researchers through MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships.
