The objective of MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship grants is to support researchers’ careers and foster excellence in research by financing individual R&I projects. The PF targets researchers holding a PhD who wish to carry out their research activities abroad, acquire new skills and develop their careers.
This free webinar is organised as a side event of the FreeTwinEV Summer School. Its primary goal is to identify and support researchers interested in applying for an MSCA PF at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava (STUBA) in Slovakia.
However, participation is open for all researchers interested in MSCA funding opportunities.
Following the webinar, participants will have the opportunity to submit their project concepts or pitch presentations by 31 May 2025. A follow-up meeting will take place on 12 June 2025 (14:00–16:00 CET) to discuss the submitted ideas. Two of the most mature, relevant, and promising concepts will receive professional support for further proposal development. Selected applicants will receive support from experienced mentors with a strong track record in Horizon Europe proposal preparation, including former National Contact Points (NCPs) in Slovakia.
