The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship primarily funds stipends to newly minted Ph.Ds. to pursue a post-doc in European Member States and Horizon Associated countries (which includes Israel). The program awards grants in virtually all academic areas. BGU researchers can use the Marie Curie Fellowship in one of the following ways:

To recruit a European post-doc candidate.
To assist their own Ph.Ds. continue their academic development.

Although the program funds primarily post-docs, it does not prohibit more senior researchers from submitting applications designed to allow them to add an important dimension to their research capacities.
An essential element of an application is an eligible institution (usually a university or research center) outside of your own country, who will be your partner in submitting the application (technically they actually submit the application in order to recruit you). RDA will provide guidance and support to any researcher submitting an application to recruit a post-doc.
