YOUR MSCA@UNIPR BOOTCAMP 2025 STARTS HERE

3-day intensive high-quality training for international post-doctoral researchers who want to commit to apply for the Horizon Europe Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships call 2025, choosing UNIPR as their Host Organisation.

The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships targets 25 researchers holding a PhD who wish to carry out their research activities abroad and acquire new skills to develop their careers and foster excellence in research.

The MSCA@UNIPR BOOTCAMP is a 3-day intensive workshop on how to write successful proposals that will take place at UNIPR from 26th to 28th May 2025. The training sessions will be held by experts in project writing and evaluation who will teach you how to develop excellent and innovative project proposals through interactive theorical sessions and practical activities. The candidates will also hear success stories from MSCA-PF awardees and will work directly with their supervisors in dedicated sessions.

Selected candidates will receive a reimbursement fee up to a maximum of 1.500 euros for researchers coming to Parma from European countries and up to 2.000 euros for researchers coming from non-European countries, in order to cover Bootcamp-related costs (i.e., travel/accommodation/subsistence).


Deadline for applications is 31st January 2025.

 

What do you need to do before the deadline?

Step 1: Check the MSCA PF Eligibility Criteria (page 117).

Step 2: Find and contact your supervisor at UNIPR through the dedicated database available in this page.

Step 3: Check and fill out the call documentation available at the bottom of this page.

Step 4: Apply by 31st January 2025
