MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships (Swiss-specific): Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how experienced researchers moving to or within Switzerland can access specific MSCA fellowship funding and mobility allowances.

This scheme provides funding for experienced researchers who are moving to or working within Switzerland to advance their professional careers.

Who it's for

This program is designed for experienced researchers who are relocating to Switzerland or moving between different locations within the country for research purposes.

What you get

If you are successful, you will receive financial support to cover your living expenses, costs associated with mobility, and allowances to help support your family.

What it costs you

Applying for this fellowship requires you to complete a highly detailed proposal following complex EU-standard formats. You will need to invest significant time into preparing these academic documents.

The catch to know

Because Switzerland is considered a "non-associated third country" in this context, the way the funding is managed and distributed differs from the standard European Union mechanisms.

How to apply

  1. Review the specific research requirements for your field.
  2. Prepare a formal research proposal following the required EU format.
  3. Check the official Swiss research guidelines for current submission details.
  4. Submit your application through the designated official channels.
