Funding, News and Announcements

The European Commission's Horizon 2020 program has launched its 2020 calls for Individual Fellowships under its Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions. Two calls may be of particular interest to Dalhousie faculty members:

Marie Sklodowska-Curie Global Fellowships enable early-career European researchers to have the opportunity to be trained and acquire new knowledge in a university or other research institution outside the EU. Fellows are generously funded for two years of research and training in an institution outside the EU, and return to their home institutions in Europe for a final one-year reintegration phase. Funding includes a contribution to research expenses and overhead/indirect costs at the hosting institution outside the EU.

Marie Sklodowska-Curie European Fellowships aim to attract experienced researchers from outside the EU to work and undertake research at a European institution for 1-2 years, with a view to developing mutually-beneficial research cooperation. The research project should be of strong interest for the European Research Area and help create long-term collaborations and mutually beneficial cooperation between Europe and the fellow's home country. Funding is provided for the researcher’s maintenance, plus research costs and overhead for the host organization in Europe.

Applicants need a doctoral degree or at least four years’ full-time research experience by the time of the call deadline.

More information for both of the above fellowships is available on the European Commission website.

Any researcher intending to apply is asked to contact the International Research Administrator in the Office of Research Services (Amanda.Leslie@dal.ca), for more information and support in preparing an application.
