About This Scholarship

The Marie Curie Scholarship is a fellowship program funded by the European Union to support researchers in Europe and other eligible countries. The program is named after the Nobel Prize-winning scientist Marie Skłodowska-Curie, who is known for her pioneering work in the field of radioactivity.

The Marie Curie Scholarship program provides funding for researchers at all stages of their careers, from PhD students to experienced researchers. The program aims to promote mobility and career development for researchers, while also promoting scientific excellence and innovation.

Scholarship recipients receive funding for their research projects, as well as additional support for training, networking, and career development. The amount of funding provided varies depending on the type of fellowship and the researcher’s level of experience.

Applications for the Marie Curie Scholarship are typically submitted through the European Commission’s online application system. The application process is highly competitive, and applicants are evaluated based on their research experience and potential, as well as the quality and feasibility of their proposed research project.
