How great is to be a fellow of Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) !


This topic is a little bit different from the previous ones, but we believe that this will provide a broad view of our project and draw your attention towards MSCA.
So, how great is to be an MSCA fellow?

As an MSCA fellow, you have a great opportunity to work and study in renowned universities and industries in a different part of Europe. We are working at Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT) and we are lucky to live in a city like Lisbon, which is one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in Europe, famous for its rich history and culture.

You have the opportunity to work with the great researchers and professors from your home institute/company and other tie-up institutes. A remarkable attraction of MSCA fellowship is the ‘secondments’ that give you a chance to co-operate and work with a second institute other than your home institute, which helps you to expand your horizon. You will certainly meet people from different culture, learn more about their customs and taste different delicious food! Maybe you will find out that you are passionate about Indian food!

You have the opportunity to be part of the bigger group formed from different institutes, universities and companies from all over the Europe. It gives you a chance to learn, cooperate, and improve yourself in your specific and related areas.

MSCA network events and research programs are organized in such a way to improve your technical skills with the right mix of soft skills. Through outreach programs, you can share your knowledge and maybe inspire the young people to become researchers.

MSCA fellowship is a prestigious fellowship which will certainly be a milestone in your CV.

Last but not least, the fund offered by the MCSA is very attractive and is sufficient to cover all of your expenses associated with the research such as buying lab equipment, travelling on a conference, training, schools, and other expenses necessary to explore your career opportunities.
