157 project proposals compete for €100 million funding under the Marie Skłodowska Curie COFUND 2020 call

The Research Executive Agency (REA) received 157 project proposals for the MSCA-COFUND-2020 call by the deadline on 29 September.

Among the 157 submitted proposals, 69 proposals applied under the Doctoral Programmes (DPs) and 88 under the Fellowship Programmes (FPs).

In total, €100 million are available to co-fund DPs and FPs, respectively for the most promising early-stage researchers and experienced researchers. This is an opportunity for researchers to top up existing funding at regional, national and international level with EU funding. 

Projects will be selected for EU funding with the support of external independent evaluators drawn from the European Commission's experts' database. Proposals evaluations are expected to start in October 2020, and the results of this selection process will be known by February 2021 at the latest. REA will then sign grant agreements with the successful applicants in May 2021.
