Workshop on MSCA Individual Fellowships

Join a dynamic and interactive workshop hosted by CONNECTS-UK, in collaboration with EURAXESS UK and Newcastle University (NCL Europe). This session will focus on the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Individual Fellowships.

This session goes beyond an informative presentation – it’s an opportunity to engage directly with successful MSCA fellows from various research fields. You’ll gain first-hand insights into their fellowship journeys, hear about their successes and challenges, and have the chance to interact with them personally to ask questions and receive guidance.

This session will feature:

• A comprehensive overview of the MSCA programme and Individual Fellowships
• Insights into the application process, eligibility, funding, and more
• First-hand accounts from successful MSCA fellows across different fields, sharing their experiences
• Opportunities to directly interact with the speakers, ask questions, and gain personalised advice in a dynamic, workshop-style format
