Embarking on a research career is not always easy. And yet today’s young researchers are vital to Europe’s future.
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), named after the double Nobel Prize winning Polish-French scientist famed for her work on radioactivity, want to make research careers more attractive to researchers at all stages of their careers, irrespective of nationality. Researchers working across all disciplines, from life-saving healthcare to “blue-sky” science, are eligible for funding.
The MSCA also support industrial doctorates, combining academic research study with work in companies, and other innovative training that enhances employability and career development. In addition to generous research funding, scientists have the possibility to gain experience abroad and in the private sector, and to complete their training with competences or disciplines useful for their careers.
