The MSCA calls are open to all domains of research & innovation, from fundamental research to market take-up and innovation services. Research and innovation fields are chosen freely by the applicants in a fully ‘bottom-up’ manner.Postdoctoral fellowships can either take place in Europe (i.e. in an EU Member State or a Horizon Europe Associated Country- European Postdoctoral Fellowships) or in a Third Country not associated to Horizon Europe (Global Postdoctoral Fellowships).This means that two schemes are available to apply for with ICRA:1.
