EUTopia, the European University uniting the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and nine other partners, offers a partnering tool for postdoc fellowships under the European Commission's MSCA actions. Prospective candidates can construct an application with a supervisor from another EUTopia-institution, or with one in our group. 

CORE has welcomed dr. Raphaël Cahen (2017-2019) as MSCA incoming Pegasus² fellow (co-fund programme with the FWO), as well as dr. Stefano Cattelan (2022-2023) as incoming Carlsberg Foundation Internationalisation Grantee. Besides the applications for FWO Junior and Senior Postdoctoral Fellows, the MSCA Fellowships are an important channel to attract PhD graduates for fundamental research purposes.

Eligibility:

Supported fellows must be postdoctoral researchers at the date of the call deadline, i.e. in a possession of a doctoral degree before 13 September 2023, defined as a successfully defended doctoral thesis, even if the doctoral degree has yet to be awarded. 

At the call deadline, researchers must have a maximum of 8 years full-time equivalent experience in research, measured from the date that the researcher was in a possession of a doctoral degree and certified by appropriate documents. Years of experience outside research and career breaks (e.g. due to parental leave), will not be considered. 

Recruited researchers must comply with the mobility rule: they must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the selected Host Institution for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the call deadline. Compulsory national service and short stays such as holidays are not considered.

Supported researchers can be of any nationality. However, researchers going to a third country (Global Postdoctoral Fellowship) or researchers who wish to reintegrate to Europe, must be nationals or long-term residents of EU Member States or Associated Countries. Long-term residence means a period of continuous residence within the country of at least five consecutive years (periods of absence should be shorter than six consecutive months and do not exceed in total ten months within this period).

Goal:

We have created a stable online platform shared by the EUTOPIA network to enable fruitful collaboration between excellent Marie Skłodowska-Curie candidates and potential supervisors willing to mentor young researchers. If you are a Postdoctoral researcher interested in a MSCA within EUTOPIA, you are invited to use the new MSCA Partnering Tool to find suitable supervisors from other EUTOPIA universities.
