2024 Call for Applications to MSCA4Ukraine
With a recent top up of EUR 10 million from the European Commission, the MSCA4Ukraine initiative will support additional researchers displaced from Ukraine. From 5 August 2024, the online application portal opened for eligible host organisations to apply to the MSCA4Ukraine scheme for fellowships to host displaced researchers from Ukraine. The link to the application portal will be published on the MSCA4Ukraine website. The portal will close on 5 September 2024 at 23.59h, and no applications can be submitted via the portal after that time. This call is expected to lead to the award of around 50 doctoral and post-doctoral fellowships.
