The European Commission opened a new call for the 2023 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships. With a budget of €260.5 million, these grants will enhance the creative and innovative potential of researchers holding a PhD and wishing to acquire new skills through advanced training and international, interdisciplinary, and inter-sectoral mobility.
The call will also allow organisations all over the world to attract talented researchers, including top universities, research centres, public and private organisations and medium-sized enterprises. The call will close on 13 September 2023 and is expected to fund over 1,200 projects.
The Postdoctoral Fellowships consist of two strands: European Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to researchers of any nationality to carry out a personalised project in the EU or countries associated to Horizon Europe. Global Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to European nationals or long-term residents who wish to work with organisations outside the countries mentioned above before returning to Europe.
