Marie Curie Actions provide funding opportunities for mobility and training at all stages of a researcher’s career, seek to promote research as a career and help create a market for researchers within the European Research Area (ERA). They are completely bottom-up and open to all areas of research eligible to apply. Marie Curie Fellowships last between 1-2 years and provide an attractive salary in addition to a relocation allowance, travel allowance, research expenses, and management costs for the host  institution.

For more information on the Marie Curie Actions please visit the UKRO website, or contact Research and Enterprise for support.
