Did you know? – There is a double chance to obtain a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) with a Czech host!
MSCA-PF is a competitive and prestigious funding scheme with a success rate around 10% and is believed to be the stepping stone for getting an ERC starting grant in the future. The best-ranking MSCA-PF proposals with a host institution in one of the “widening countries” (which include Czechia) that aren’t funded due to lack of finances will be funded from the budget of the “Widening Participation and Spreading Excellence” of Horizon Europe. The fellow just has to indicate in this application that if unsuccessful, he/she wants to apply for the ERA Fellowship.
After the MSCA PF evaluation is completed, then, if the proposal is not selected for funding but is eligible for ERA Fellowship, it is automatically “resubmitted” to the ERA Fellowship call. Applicants aiming for widening countries have therefore better chances to get funded (around 20%).
