The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2027, funded by the European Commission under Horizon Europe, aim to enhance the creative and innovative potential of researchers holding a PhD by supporting advanced training and international, inter-sectoral, and interdisciplinary mobility. The program is open to excellent researchers of any nationality and supports both European and Global Postdoctoral Fellowships. Fellows benefit from hands-on research, training in transferable skills (including digital and open science), and career development planning. The scheme encourages secondments, non-academic placements, and reintegration for researchers returning to Europe, as well as support for those displaced by conflict or seeking to restart their research careers.
