About the MSCA PF call

MSCA Postdoctoral fellowships PF aims at supporting the international mobility of researchers within (European Fellowships) and beyond Europe (Global Fellowships). Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF) are for experienced researchers to undertake their own research project at a host organisation in another country, thus gaining new skills through advanced training and possibly, intersectoral mobility. The grant usually covers two years' salary, a mobility allowance, research costs and overheads for the host institution. Family and special needs allowances are also available, when applicable. More: bit.ly/MSCAPF

Prior knowledge of the MSCA PF call is required to participate in the trainings. Check out our resources on the call page bit.ly/MSCAPF and the explanatory videos at https://bit.ly/MSCAPF4Brazil, and test your knowledge with the quizz prepared by MSCA-Net.
