Three Marie Skłodowska-Curie individual fellowships for GELIFES

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie individual fellowships, part of Horizon 2020, is a European funding scheme aimed at promoting researchers´ mobility. It provides funding for 2-year postdoctoral fellowships for researchers of any age, nationality and discipline.

Three researchers have been selected by the excellence of their projects by the European Commission to come to Groningen to develop their postdoctoral research projects within the Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences: Joanna Sudyka in the research group of Simon Verhulst, Joana Sabino Pinto in the RG of Martine Maan, and Marijke Versteven in the RG of Jean Christophe Billeter.

The Individual Fellowships offer unique opportunities to Groningen senior researchers to attract promising fellows from all over the world, thus expanding their research capacity as well as building on their international network. This scheme will continue under Horizon Europe, the new European program for research and innovation 2021-2027, with the name of Postdoctoral Fellowships. It is expected that the next call for proposals will be published in April 2021 and the deadline will be in September 2021.
