• Fellowships Deadline: August 17, 2010. Marie Curie Fellowships to encourage international mobility in academia. Calls are currently open for the following fellowships:

1. Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowships for Career Development (IEF). This action provides financial support for advanced training and trans-national mobility, for a period of 12-24 months (full-time equivalent), for individual projects presented by experienced researchers from Member States or Associated Countries in liaison with a host organisation from a Member State or Associated Country. Researchers can be of any nationality but as a general rule must move from one Member State or Associated country to another in order to carry out the project.
2. Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowships (IIF). Top-class researchers from Third Countries are welcome to work on projects in Europe. This helps to develop research cooperation between Europe and other parts of the world – to everybody’s benefit. Researchers can be of any nationality and must demonstrate mobility from a Third Country to a Member State or Associated country. Third Countries are neither EU Member States nor Associated Countries. The application for an IIF should be made in liaison with the organisation or institution that would be willing to host you in Europe. Host organisations can be universities, research centres or companies.
3. Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowships for Career Development (IOF). European researchers can learn a lot from conducting highlevel research in other parts of the world. The knowledge that they acquire in Third Countries can then be brought back and used in Europe. To encourage European researchers to venture further afield (and then to come back), Marie Curie Actions offers International Outgoing Fellowships for Career Development (IOFs).
