Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF) provide funding for postdocs to spend 1 or up to 2 years conducting research in an EU Member State or Associated Country (European PF). For research stays lasting 2 or up to 3 years, the first 1 to 2 years will be spent outside Europe (Global PF) followed by a mandatory return phase at a European host institution. An additional placement of up to six months can be awarded to researchers who will spend that period in a non-academic organisation established in an EU Member State or Associated Country.
The PF aim to enhance the career opportunities of postdoctoral researchers through international and inter-sectoral mobility.
