📢 With the 2025 MSCA Postdoctoral fellowship results announced recently, it is time already to think about the 2026 round which will open on 9th April 2026.
MSCA-PFs are highly competitive grants and early preparation is key. In the 2025 round, 15,668 European fellowship and 1,168 Global fellowship proposals were submitted. The cut-off scores achieved for funding across panels ranged from 93.4% to 97.6%. This leaves no room for errors and therefore, you need to hit the nail on the head in each section and not hesitate to rework your proposal for a resubmission if you were unsuccessful this time around.
🖋️ What is the best strategy for a strong proposal? You need to understand the requirements of the MSCA-PF call and your proposal must address expectations beyond an innovative and ambitious idea:
📌 A true two-way knowledge transfer with the host institution
📌 A tailored training and development plan
📌 Showcasing the right CV highlights and skills
📌 Strong impact and implementation plans
Check out the two different types of fellowships and their eligibility/mobility rule.
📅Deadline for applications is 9 September 2026
