Resources, Events & Training

Our mission, in the Irish Marie Skłodowska-Curie Office (IMSCO) is to support the research community from all disciplines in applying for MSCA funding and in implementing MSCA projects. As well as promoting MSCA calls we provide guidance and information to applicants and awardees through training events, webinars, handbooks, and query support.

As part of the MSCA-NET project, the IMSCO alongside MSCA NCP colleagues, produce handbooks for each of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie calls. The handbooks contain tips and advice on each section of the application as well as listing the most common strengths and weaknesses that are featured in the Evaluation Summary Reports. Handbooks should be used in conjunction with the official call documents including the MSCA Work Programme, Guide for Applicants, and proposal templates, which can downloaded from the call webpage on the EU’s Funding & Tender Opportunities Portal.
