Master Class: Preparing a MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship Application

Grants Office is organizing a Master Class to support researchers in preparing applications for the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship—either a European or Global Fellowship. Research teams at LTU who intend to host a postdoctoral researcher and have identified a potential candidate are also welcome to attend the session together with their candidate.

The Master Class will provide a step-by-step walkthrough of the application process, including hands-on exercises and a testimonial from a current MSCA PF fellow.
