Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) are the European Union’s flagship funding programme for doctoral education and postdoctoral training of researchers. MSCA support research excellence, mobility, and collaboration across borders, sectors, and disciplines. They offer funding for doctoral training, postdoctoral fellowships, staff exchanges, and co-funded programs, fostering career development at all stages. MSCA strengthens the European Research Area by promoting knowledge transfer and building global networks between academia, industry, and society, making it a cornerstone of EU research and innovation policy.
We are excited to present part 2 of this two-part series on Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.
In this episode we are honored to host Dr. Stefano Moncada and Dr. Pedro Manuel Sobral Pombo, Director and Marie Curie Research Officer, respectively, of the Islands and Small States Institute.
Part of the University of Malta, the Institute promotes research and training on economic, social, cultural, ecological and geographical aspects of islands and small states.
Drs. Moncada and Pombo share how their journey with MSCA began and how they successfully navigated the application process. They discuss what it takes to develop a strong proposal, the realities of balancing research with administrative and mentoring responsibilities, and how their projects have evolved over time. They also reflect on lessons learned, offer advice for young researchers considering MSCA, and provide guidance for organizations working within the program. It is a thoughtful exploration of MSCA from application to impact.
