Welcome to Enspire Science’s MSCA-PF eligibility calculator.
This eligibility calculator was developed to assist researchers in determining their eligibility when applying to the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Post Doctoral Fellowships (MSCA-PF)
It applies to the current official MSCA guidelines for assessing the researcher's eligibility based on their previous MSCA application outcome, research experience and mobility.
Complete the requested data fields below and the calculator will determine your eligibility.
We’ve got a selection of additional services and resources to assist you on your MSCA-PF proposal preparation path. Check them out by clicking below.
