The Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences and Tampere University, Finland
At Tampere University’s Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences (ENS), we have strong basic natural science research as well as applied research in the fields of automation, mechanical engineering, robotics, materials, and environmental engineering, which creates a signicant added value to our industrial partners and society.
Tampere University (TAU, www.tuni.fi/en) has a longstanding experience in MSCA actions. We make a substantial effort in MSCA PF calls and have achieved high success rates over the years. We are preparing now for the 2023 call which is expected to have a deadline of September 13, 2023.
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA PF) 2023 Call
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) belong to the Horizon Europe framework programme. Postdoctoral Fellowship (PF) is one of the MSCA’s main funding actions enabling 1-3,5 years long individual projects in Europe (European Fellowship) or other countries (Global Fellowship). MSCA PF is for postdoctoral researchers coming from another country than the hosting institution is located. The call is aimed at promising researchers with a purpose to promote their career development. This action provides opportunities both within academia and other sectors.
