Marie-Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA)

About

Browse

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) provide grants for all stages of researchers' careers - be they doctoral candidates or highly experienced researchers - and encourage transnational, intersectoral and interdisciplinary mobility. The MSCA enable research-focused organisations (universities, research centres, and companies) to host talented foreign researchers and to create strategic partnerships with leading institutions worldwide. This gateway hosts the articles published on Open Research Europe stemming from MSCA funded projects.
