Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
The Marie Curie Actions research fellowship program is a set of mobility research grant schemes funding pre- and post-doctoral researchers in Europe as well as experienced researchers from all over the world. The Marie-Curie Fellowships are Europe’s most competitive and prestigious awards, and are aimed at fostering interdisciplinary research and international collaborations.
Description
Fellowships are awarded by the European Commission in various scientific disciplines within the People programme (FP7).
Marie Curie Actions are grouped into:
- Initial Training Networks (ITN),
- Industry-Academia Partnerships and Pathways (IAPP),
- Intra-European Fellowships (IEF),
- International Incoming Fellowships (IIF),
- International Outgoing Fellowships (IOF),
- Career Integration Grants (CIG),
- Co-funding of Regional, National and International Programmes (COFUND),
- International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES) and
- the Researchers' Night.
Its budget is 9% of the non-nuclear budget of the Seventh Framework Programme (i.e. €4.59 billion).
