The objective of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions is to create a pool of European researchers as well as scientific and innovation staff and to increase Europe’s attractiveness for researchers. The Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions are implemented on the basis of a bottom-up approach – there are no fixed scientific areas. Researchers and institutions are free to choose their research topic, with the exception of nuclear research.

The Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions are divided into five areas. Each area addresses different aspects of the overall objective.

  • Area 1: Research training and/or doctoral programmes
    Furthering career opportunities of early-stage researchers through structured research training provided by a network of universities, research organizations and non-academic institutions: Innovative Training Networks (ITN).
  • Area 2: Individual Fellowships for experienced researchers
    Promoting career opportunities of experienced researchers carrying out individual research projects to enhance their competences: Individual Fellowships (IF).
  • Area 3: Staff Exchange
    Supporting international and inter-sectoral cooperation and knowledge transfer through staff exchange within the cooperation of institutions: Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE).
  • Area 4: Co-funding of mobility programmes
    Supporting regional, national and international mobility programmes for early-stage and experienced researchers, in line with the principles of Charter & Code: Co-funding of Regional, National and International Programmes (COFUND).
  • Area 5: Accompanying Actions
    Furthering the improvement of career opportunities and other aspects of career development in research through accompanying actions (e.g. European Researchers’ Night (NIGHT), studies and analyses).
