This newsletter provides information about the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), such as funding opportunities, news, events, and useful information for beneficiaries and fellows.

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) is the European Union’s flagship programme for researcher training, mobility and career development - open to all disciplines and sectors.

The programme funds bottom-up research in all fields based on scientific excellence and competitive funding. The programme was named after the double Nobel Prize winner Marie Skłodowska-Curie to honour and spread the values she stood for. To date, more than 150,000 researchers have participated in the programme with many more benefiting from it – including 25 Nobel laureates and three winners of the EU Prize for Women Innovators.

Beyond supporting individual researchers, the MSCA is focused on structural impact: improving the quality of doctoral and postdoctoral training, promoting attractive working conditions, supporting gender equality, and spreading best practices in recruitment and supervision across Europe’s research institutions. 

The programme has also played a key role in encouraging open science, public engagement and science communication, bringing research closer to society, in particular through the European Researchers’ Night, which takes place across Europe at the end of September each year.
