Marie Skłodowska - Curie Actions

Slide Note

The Marie Skodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) provide opportunities for researchers in Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) to participate in doctoral and postdoctoral training programs in a variety of domains. These actions aim to develop highly skilled research-based human capital, enhance global attractiveness for talents, and promote international collaboration. Despite modest participation from OCTs, the MSCA offer funding for researchers at all career stages and support initiatives like doctoral networks, postdoctoral fellowships, staff exchanges, and public outreach events. The budget under Horizon Europe for MSCA stands at 6.6 billion Euros.
