MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2023 – open call for proposals
Postdoctoral Fellowships under Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA PF) of the European Comission give researchers holding a PhD a chance to gain new skills and experience whilst carrying out their own research project abroad. The call is expected to fund over 1 200 projects.
Funding options and success rate:
Additional budget is available from the Programme Jan Amos Komenský (OP JAK) for proposals with high evaluation score not reaching the grant directly from the MSCA PF call budget, both for fellowships in the Czech Republic and abroad. UCT Prague has secured funding for over 30 projects from this source since 2017, next to 9 incoming fellowships funded directly from the EU budget (overall rate of UCT funded/submitted proposals: 64% in 2022, 42% in 2021).
