The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026 call (Reference: HORIZON-MSCA-2026-PF-01) under Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions supports excellent PhD holders of any nationality to enhance their research careers through advanced training, innovation, and international mobility.
These fellowships are designed for researchers seeking to gain new skills through international, interdisciplinary, and inter-sectoral research, including opportunities in both academic and non-academic sectors.
