The scheme also encourages researchers to work on research and innovation projects in the non-academic sector and is open to researchers wishing to reintegrate in Europe as well as to researchers with high potential who are seeking to restart their careers in research.

MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to excellent researchers of any nationality.
