Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions Individual Fellowships (MSCA IF):

Initiating Workshop

The goal of MSCA European Fellowships is to support researchers of any nationality in furthering their career by financing a research project at a host institution for 1-2 years. Funding costs cover living allowance, research equipment, travel expenses, management, and overheads. The next deadline for applications is 14/09/17.
