Workshop: Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions

Fund your research and foster your career with the Marie Curie fellowships sponsored by the European Commission

The aim of these postdoctoral fellowships is to foster career development and excellence in research, and both European and U.S. scholars are eligible to apply for them. They are designed for researchers with a PhD in all disciplines who wish to carry out their research activities abroad, acquire new skills, and develop their careers. MSC-PFs help researchers gain experience in other countries, different disciplines, and nonacademic sectors. Interested researchers submit an application to the EU together with a host organization, which can be a university or a research institution based in an EU Member State. The MSC-PFs support the recruited researcher in the form of a living stipend, a travel allowance, and, if applicable, funds to support family members, long-term leave, and special needs. In addition, funding is provided for research, training, and networking activities, as well as management and indirect costs.

This workshop is addressed to potential fellows interested in applying for a period of research and training in Europe, supervisors who wish to sponsor a scholar from abroad at NYU, and administrative staff who want to receive additional information on the MSCA awards. Speakers will share their personal experiences and provide additional information about the program and how to apply.
