Training for Applicants to the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships Call 2021

UNIL, CHUV or EPFL as future Host

This event is a one-day online training for researchers planning to apply to the 2021 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (PF) call. The aim of this event is to train applicants in writing competitive PF proposals. The training will tackle the success criteria for PF proposals and the common challenges in PF proposal writing. You will work with an example proposal, receive information from an evaluator and have the possibility learn from a successful applicant. In order to minimize screen time we will ask you to prepare some of the exercises in advance and then discuss in smaller groups during the event.

At the time of the event, participants should already be familiar with the Guide for Applicants, the MSCA part of the Work Programme and the related FAQ, have outlined their proposal and be in contact with their future host institution.

This is not an information event, but will require intense preparation. For basic information, please refer to our webinar.

This event is free of charge but registration is mandatory. Due to place restriction, preference will be given to applicants planning to apply with a host institution located in Region of Vaud, Switzerland. 

Upon registration please send us an e-mail indicating your future host and supervisor, specifying the date of award of your PhD and the type of fellowship you would like to apply for.
