2021 Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (HE-MSCA-PF-2021)

[Fu Manchu]

Hello guys, I was wondering if someone could clarify this for me.
I am from Tunisia (an Horizon Europe Associated Country) and obtained my PhD in 2009 (12 years). Would I be eligible for a PF in Germany under these conditions? Last year I got the seal of excellence, score: 87.5%.
- At the call deadline, supported researchers must have a maximum of 8 years fulltime equivalent experience in research, measured from the date of award of the doctoral degree
- For nationals or long-term residents of EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries who wish to reintegrate to pursue their research career in EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries, years of experience in research in third countries will not be considered in the above maximum.

Thanks

It depends. Did you spend all the 12 postdoc years in research? If the answer is yes, I believe you are not eligible.
Only if you had a career break in research longer than 4 years, which would left you with less than 8 years of postdoctoral experience, you would be eligible.

Any one can suggest if I can apply for HE-MSCA-PF-2021 and HORIZON-WIDERA-2022-TALENTS-02-01 simultaneously with two different projects.

Dear all,

does anyone have any idea how we should handle the possible industry placement at the end of the fellowship? Like a secondment? Should we add the additional 6 months to the Gantt chart, should we explain who will supervise us and what we will do the 6 months at the company? Is there a two way transfer of knowledge expected since the company need to be relevant to the project...

I would be grateful for any answers!

Hello everyone,

There we go again! and this will be my third (and probably last) attempt to get the Global Fellowship. I am having a look at the new B1 part template in order to adapt my previous proposal, and I have the silliest doubt, in the head section is says "Call: [insert call identifier] — [insert call name]". The call identifier would be HORIZON-MSCA-2021-PF-01 (I guess), but the call name? would that be GF?. Thanks!

I guess it should be:
Call: MSCA –PF–2021 — [MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2021]

I was also wondering if it's just MSCA-PF-2021 and find it strange there's no need for the project acronym anymore.

For those of you reapplying: are you keeping parts of the old proposal? I scored 4 in Impact and I'm keeping most of the plan I wrote in the old proposal, but the more I read the template the more it seems to be so different from the previous call. How are you approaching resubmission?

I scored 4.2, 4.9 and 4.2. So yes, especially in impact, I am keeping a lot of things. But I am trying to improve everything. And now there are new templates as well. So there is even more room for changes and improvements.

Lets hope for the best.

Yes, I kept parts of the old proposal however I addapt them to the new instructions.

I have a silly question. In the template up at the right corner there is a header "EU Grants: Application form (HE MSCA PF): V1.0 – 18.06.2021"
We can delete this, correct?

I didn't delete mine but reduced the header/footer margin.
By the way, your question isn't silly!
