MSCA: Individual Fellowships for 16 researchers

Labor mit Menschen

The EU-funded postdoctoral training programme MSCA-IF is a big success for the University of Vienna: 16 excellent researchers from 13 countries will be joining the University in the coming year.

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (MSCA-IF) programme is an EU-funded postdoctoral training programme. It allows postdoctoral researchers (fellows) to gain additional skills and abilities working on a specific research project in a new environment and to transfer their knowledge within their new institution. The fellowship is a well-defined two-year career stage and open to all fields of research. In Horizon 2020 the University of Vienna has been the top-ranked MSCA-IF host in Austria with 42 fellowships awarded.

In February 2021 the results of the latest MSCA-IF call were published: 16 excellent researchers from 13 countries will be joining the University of Vienna in the coming year. Those ranked among the top 10 will also receive an extra year of salary to continue the collaboration with their supervisor and to continue the work they began during the fellowship.
