We are currently accepting applications for the 2023 round of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships. These fellowships offer a budget of €260.47 million and are aimed at researchers who hold a PhD and are interested in acquiring new skills through advanced training, as well as engaging in international, interdisciplinary, and inter-sectoral mobility.
