The CIVIS3i COFUND project for International, Interdisciplinary, Intersectoral Research and Training for Experienced Researchers, presented by the CIVIS Alliance and co-funded by Sapienza, has been selected by the European Commission under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.

The project has a budget of €4.4 million and is co-financed by the European Commission and four CIVIS universities: Aix-Marseille Université, Université libre de Bruxelles, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and Sapienza.

CIVIS3i will recruit, through 24-month fellowships, 32 excellent post-doctoral researchers to carry out ambitious research projects that meet the three "I's": International, Interdisciplinary and Intersectoral. The quality post-doctoral training will enhance their career development and allow them to undertake mobility periods at other universities in the CIVIS alliance. Lastly, to facilitate the research's intersectoral dimension, the CIVIS3i programme is supported by a network of 24 non-academic partner organisations from the CIVIS Alliance countries.

Selections for the recruitment of the first post-doctoral researchers will begin in autumn 2021.
