Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions in Horizon Europe

Under the Marie Curie actions researchers can obtain grants regardless of their age or nationality.  In addition to various scholarships, researchers have the opportunity to gain experiences abroad and in the private sector and to upgrade their training by other skills or disciplines that may be valuable for their career.

Mobility rule for all Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions: Fellow has lived and worked less than 12 Month within the last 3 years in the potential host country.


Structured doctoral training - Doctoral Networks (DN):

In order to create a strong human resources base for the European Research Area, the Doctoral Networks programme (under Horizon 2020 "ITNs - Innovative Training Networks") aims to structure the initial training of excellent researchers and doctoral students and to adapt it to the requirements of the labour market in the private and public sectors. In addition to the standard DNs, there are other specific forms:

  • (standard) Doctoral Networks (DN) (under H2020 "ETN - European Training Networks").
  • Joint Doctorates (JD) (under Horizon 2020 "EJD - European Joint Doctorates")
  • Industrial Doctorates (ID) (under Horizon 2020 "European Industrial Doctorates")

Individual Fellowships (IF):

Fellowships for postdocs - international and intersectoral mobility
Aim: „to enhance the creative and innovative potential of experienced researchers wishing to diversify their individual competence in terms of skill acquisition at multi-or interdisciplinary levelthrough advanced training,international and intersectoralmobility”.

There are two types of Individual Fellowships:

  • European Fellowships (EF)
  • Global Fellowships (GF)
