Apart from the calls for INNOVATIVE TRAINING NETWORKS (ITN) and RESEARCH AND INNOVATION STAFF EXCHANGE (RISE), the EC has launched the call for INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIPS (IF):

Support is foreseen for individual, trans-national fellowships awarded to the best or most promising researchers for employment in EU Member States or Associated Countries, based on an application made jointly by the researcher and host organisation in the academic or non-academic sectors.

Fellowships are either European Fellowships or Global Fellowships. European Fellowships are held in EU Member States or Associated Countries and are open to researchers currently within and outside Europe. The country where the European Fellowship is held is subject to the rules of mobility. Global Fellowships are based on a secondment to a third country and a mandatory 12 month return period to a European host. The country where the Global Fellowship secondment takes place is subject to the rules of mobility, whereas the return phase is not.

MARIE SKŁODOWSKA-CURIE ACTION: INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIPS (IF) – CALL ID: H2020-MSCA-IF-2014

• MSCA-IF-2014-EF: Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships (IF-EF)

Proposals for European Fellowships involve a single host organisation (future beneficiary) established in a MS or AC. The project proposals are submitted by this host organisation, which is represented by the supervisor, in liaison with the researcher.

For European Fellowships the applicants can submit their proposals as Standard EF to one of the 8 main evaluation panels [Chemistry (CHE), Social Sciences and Humanities (SOC), Economic Sciences (ECO), Information Science and Engineering (ENG), Environment and Geosciences (ENV), Life Sciences (LIF), Mathematics (MAT), Physics (PHY)] or to one of the 2 multidisciplinary panels: Career Restart Panel (CAR) and Reintegration Panel (RI). The CAR panel provides financial support to individual researchers who want to resume research in Europe after a career break, while the RI panel is dedicated to researchers who want to return to Europe to reintegrate in a longer term research position.

• MSCA-IF-2014-GF: Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships (IF-GF)

Proposals for Global Fellowships involve a single host organisation (future beneficiary) established in a MS or AC. The project proposals are submitted by this host organisation, which is represented by the supervisor, in liaison with the researcher.

Global Fellowships are composed of an outgoing phase during which the researcher spends 1 to 2 years on secondment to a partner organisation in a Third Country, plus a mandatory 12-month return period to a host organisation (the beneficiary) located in a Member State or Associated Country.

For Global Fellowships the applicants can submit their proposals as GF to one of the 8 main evaluation panels [Chemistry (CHE), Social Sciences and Humanities (SOC), Economic Sciences (ECO), Information Science and Engineering (ENG), Environment and Geosciences (ENV), Life Sciences (LIF), Mathematics (MAT), Physics (PHY)]
