The call for the Marie Curie Individual Fellowships has opened on 8 April 2020 and will close at 4.00 pm on 9 September 2020.

Due to the volume of bids that are received by RDS every year, the internal deadlines will be strictly applied to ensure that the pre-award team can provide all interested academics with optimal support in a timely manner.

The European Commission has provided guidance and ideally, work should already have commenced or should shortly commence between yourself and your proposed Research Fellow.
