On April 9, the call for Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) will be published, with a deadline set for September 10, 2025.
This year as well, UNIPI will offer specific support for the preparation of proposals listing UNIPI as the Host Institution.
Throughout April, we will be collecting the availability of UNIPI faculty members and researchers to serve as “supervisors” in potential MSCA-PF applications hosted by our university.
To this end, we have prepared a form (attached), which must be sent to the Research Promotion and Project Design Unit (progettazione.ricerca@unipi.it) by April 30. The information collected through the form will be uploaded to EURAXESS, the official MSCA reference site, as well as to the dedicated information page on the UNIPI website.
On April 9, there will be an online seminar organized by APRE (the national contact point for the Horizon Europe programme) titled “How to write a successful MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship proposal in Horizon Europe.” The event agenda and registration form were sent out in recent days by the Research Promotion and Project Design Unit.
On May 27 and June 20, the Research Promotion and Project Design Unit will hold two online meetings for candidates and their supervisors at UNIPI. These meetings will provide a detailed review of the MSCA-PF proposal templates and offer best practice guidelines for completing them. After the meetings, a toolkit will be distributed, containing useful information for drafting specific sections of the proposal. Further details will be provided at a later stage.
As the deadline for the call approaches, the Research Promotion and Project Design Unit will offer final proposal review support. To benefit from this support, applicants must comply with the deadlines detailed on the dedicated web page.
The staff of the Research Promotion and Project Design Unit is available for any further information or clarification: progettazione.ricerca@unipi.it.
