Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Global Fellowships (GF):
Hosting a European Postdoc
The MSCA Global Fellowships support the international career of researchers by giving them the opportunity to conduct a research project in a host institution located in a Third Country.
Third Countries are all those countries that do not belong to the European Union (so-called EU Member States) and that are not associated with the European Research Area (so-called Associated Countries). ALL countries in ASEAN are eligible under this scheme as Third Countries.
The Fellow will spend between 12 and 24 months conducting postdoctoral research at the Third Country institution. This is followed by a mandatory return phase of 12 months to be spent at a host institution in an EU Member State or Associated Country.
During the whole duration of the Fellowship, the researcher is employed by the European host institution and is seconded to the Third Country for the outgoing phase. The entire duration of the Fellowship is funded by the EU.
Information in brief:
What is the timeline: The 2020 Call for Application will open on 8 April 2020 with a deadline of 9 September 2020. (https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/msca-if-2020)
