#120 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions - An introduction

Episode site It is time for yet another introduction to a funding scheme in The Grant. The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions is a very popular funding scheme among the European research community. The funding scheme focus is on exchange of researchers and it offers fairly accessible funding for the research activities to do abroad as well as covering cost of transferring and living. Of course The Grant is also going to offer an official introduction to this funding scheme. For this I have invited my good old podcast colleague and independent grants consultant Ilaria Rudisi into the virtual podcast studio to take us all through what you need to know to approach this funding scheme including structure of the programme, how to apply and evaluation regime. In other words: researchers of Europe – pay attention!
