Individual Fellowships

MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships (formerly called Individual Fellowships) encourage young researchers to stay in Europe, and attract researchers from all around the world. They are awarded to researchers with a PhD who wish to add to their knowledge and skills or explore new areas. This enables researchers to broaden their training in a different EU country, or to spend two years training outside of Europe before returning for one year, or—for non-EU researchers—to be invited to Europe in order to share their knowledge.

The current ULB's "Marie-Curie" researchers are:

Networks

The MSCA programme also funds the creation of networks dedicated to training young researchers (Doctoral networks, formerly called Innovative Training Networks), as well as staff exchanges in order to promote inter-sectoral and international collaborations in research and innovation (Staff Exchange, formerly called Research and Innovation Staff Exchange).
