Call for expression of interest for hosting institutions MSCA Individual Fellowship

In the framework and spirit of the CIVIS Alliance, CIVIS member universities are thriving to attract the most promising researchers to apply for a Marie-Sklodowska Curie Individual Fellowship (MSCA-IF) within the CIVIS network.

The Marie-Sklodowska Curie Actions are aimed at supporting the career development of researchers in all the domains of science and promoting collaborations between scientific communities. In particular, the Individual Fellowship program grants individual, trans-national fellowships to outstanding researchers of any nationality who will carry out research jointly with a supervisor at a European Host Institution. Supervisors of MSCA-IF fellows are expected to host the researchers in their research group, supervise their research activities and provide support for the development of their career. The fellowship covers salary, research costs, and management costs for the host institution. 

In the following weeks, all the institutions belonging to the CIVIS network will launch an expression of interest for potential MSCA-IF applicants providing a list of available supervisors in each CIVIS member university.

If your research discipline is related to one of the CIVIS themes (listed below) and if you are keen to host an MSCA-IF fellow to work in your research team, please fill out the online form by 5 May 2020.

We will forward you the applications of candidates that are interested in submitting a proposal with you as their supervisor. If you finally decide to act as supervisor for one of such applicants, we will provide all the necessary support for the preparation and submission of the proposal, including coaching of all the applicants and support for submission.

The call for proposal, that open on the 8th of April 2020, is now accessible on the H2020 Funding Portal.
The deadline to submit the proposal to the European Commission is 9 September 2020.
