One application, three funding opportunities!

By applying for an MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship to Estonia, you do not apply for a single funding opportunity, but unlock three potential pathways to support your research journey in Estonia.

  • If your proposal exceeds the quality threshold, but is not funded in the MSCA selection process, it will automatically go forward to the ERA Fellowship call.
  • Proposals above the quality threshold that did not receive funding from Horizon Europe – neither from MSCA nor ERA Fellowships – can in turn be submitted to the Estonian Research Council (ETAG). ETAG will fund these projects without any further scientific assessment. ETAG funding now available also to those whose initial MSCA project was written in cooperation with an Estonian institution. The call is aimed at researchers whose MSCA European Fellowship proposal received the Seal of Excellence from the European Commission but was not funded. Additonally, ETAG funding now available also to those whose initial MSCA project was not written in cooperation with an Estonian institution.

How to apply?

  • Submit MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship application
  • Wait for the results
  • Contact Laura Tomson, the Foreign Funds Coordinator of the University of Tartu Grant Office, at any time during the process
  • Together with the University of Tartu, submit proposal to ETAG, if needed
