The University of Limerick invites MSCA-PF applicants to join our support programme for Marie Curie fellowship applicants from May - Sept 2024. We normally provide a Masterclass with travel bursaries to UL for selected applicants in late May each year. Online masterclasses are scheduled and these will be held in May.

This support programme will provide training and individual support on proposal preparation for the 2024 Marie Skłodowska-Cure Postdoctoral Fellowships call for selected participants. The programme is open to eligible applicants who plan to submit a proposal for the 2024 call with University of Limerick as their future Host Institution and who have the support of a UL supervisor. Researchers currently working at UL and who want to apply for a MSCA Global Fellowship are also welcome.

Support Programme

You will receive training and support on all aspects of your Fellowship proposal including societal and economic impact, data management, open science, ethics and responsible research, UL training supports, opportunities for secondments, and much more. This training will help you to make your MSCA-PF proposal much more competitive. You will also work with your host supervisor on the proposal and follow a schedule of ongoing support from our Marie Curie advisors.

How to apply

Complete the Application form together with your future supervisor before 12 April 2024 at 5pm and send it to mariecurie@ul.ie.

You will be informed within 10 days whether or not your application has been accepted. The EU deadline for applications is expected to be 11 September 2024. The results should issue in early February 2025 and if successful, the fellowship may start anytime from June 2025 to 1 September 2026.

The official call for proposals will be published here on 10 April 2024 by the European Commission. Once the official documents have been made available, successful applicants will be updated accordingly.
