The MSCA RADIANCE project has announced the official release of the fully updated Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships Handbook for the 2026 application cycle. This widely utilized resource is designed to support postdoctoral researchers globally as they prepare their project proposals ahead of the upcoming call deadline.
The European Commission has officially opened the 2026 call for submissions for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks under the Horizon Europe programme. With a dedicated budget of €593 million, this initiative expects to fund more than 130 projects spanning all domains of research and innovation. The primary objective of the call is to establish international doctoral training programmes that will support the skills development and advanced education of approximately 1,950 doctoral candidates worldwide.
The European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant funding call is currently open for applications, providing an opportunity for established, leading principal investigators to secure long-term project support. Operating on a flexible, "bottom-up" basis without predetermined thematic priorities, this funding scheme targets active researchers who demonstrate exceptional leadership, originality, and intellectual creativity. The call welcomes applications across all scientific fields.
