Postdoctoral researchers are encouraged to apply for Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships, a Horizon 2020 Programme. The Call, launched in March 2015, will remain open untill September 10th, 2015. The programme has a total budget of €215 million.
The goal of Individual Fellowships is to enhance the creative and innovative potential of experienced researchers wishing to diversify their individual competence in terms of skill acquisition at multi- or interdisciplinary level through advanced training, international and intersectoral mobility.
Individual Fellowships provide opportunities to acquire and transfer new knowledge and to work on research in a European context (EU Member States and Associated Countries) or outside Europe. The scheme particularly supports the return and reintegration of researchers from outside Europe who have previously worked here. It also develops or helps to restart the careers of individual researchers that show great potential, considering their experience.
Support to individuals to resume research in Europe after a career break, e.g. after parental leave, is ensured via a separate multi-disciplinary career restart panel of the European Fellowships. To qualify for the career restart panel, researchers must not have been active in research for at least 12 months immediately prior to the deadline for submission.

În același timp, sunt oferite burse și celor care vor să reia activitățile de cercetare după o pauză în cariera lor (de exemplu, în urma concediului parental). Pentru a se califica pentru bursele de “repornire” a carierei, candidații trebuie să fi fost inactivi în cercetare cel puțin 12 luni înainte de termenul limită de depunere.
