MSCA COFUND call receives 81 proposals
The European Commission's Research Executive Agency (REA) has announced that the fourth call under Horizon Europe of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions-funded COFUND scheme which had closed on 26 September 2024 has received 81 proposals.
Through this call, the European Union will fund around 30 projects and up to 1,000 researchers with an indicative budget of €104.8 million. This represents an increase of 8.5% compared to the last call.
In comparison, 106 proposals were submitted in 2023 and 27 were eventually selected for funding, comprising 12 doctoral training programmes and 15 postdoctoral fellowship programmes.
Under this round, organisations based in 20 countries submitted proposals. Selected projects can include several partners from the EU and worldwide, which will recruit, employ and train researchers. REA will now carry out the evaluation of the proposals. Applicants will be informed of the call results in February 2025, with the first projects due to start in May 2025.
The next call for MSCA COFUND will open on 23 January 2025 and will close on 24 June 2025.
