MARIE CURIE ACTIONS

for Individual Researchers

What's on offer to Individual Researchers ?

The actions are open to researchers in all fields of scientific and technological research from the EU Member States, from countries associated with FP6 and from third countries.

Eligibility for the various schemes is based on research experience and expertise, not age. All levels are covered from researchers at the start of their career to world-class researchers with well-established scientific expertise. The actions are also open to business, universities and institutions active in research.
 

There are two main categories of researchers eligible for funding:

• Early-stage researchers: This refers to researchers at the beginning of their research career with less than four years' active research experience (e.g. researchers undertaking a doctoral degree);

• Experienced researchers: This applies to researchers with more than four years of active research experience or those with a doctorate degree. For some actions, researchers with more than ten years of experience will not be eligible.

Early stage researchers are invited to visit the “Marie Curie Funding Opportunities Search Tool” on CORDIS website for information and fellowship vacancies in the projects funded by these schemes.

Experienced researchers interesting in taking part in a Marie Curie Action may either apply directly to an institution that has been previously selected by the Commission for a Host-Driven Action or they can prepare a project together with a host institution of his or her choice and submit it to the Commission.
