To mark the launch of the 2026 calls for proposals, Sapienza is organising a series of events aimed at lecturers and researchers interested in learning more about the opportunities offered by the MSCA programme, the European Commission's main instrument for doctoral and post-doctoral training and career development of researchers of excellence. The initiative aims to raise awareness of the features and methods of participation in the main MSCA calls for proposals, as well as the support and assistance services offered by Sapienza to academics and researchers wishing to participate.

The MSCA @ Sapienza initiative is divided into an Infoday, during which the main programmes of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (Doctoral Networks, Postdoctoral Fellowships and Staff Exchanges) will be presented, a workshop aimed at researchers, both internal and external to Sapienza, who want to learn about the steps needed to prepare a successful MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships proposal and the type of support offered by Sapienza to those submitting a proposal with our university as host institution, and finally the Grant Writing Lab, a real support workshop for researchers preparing an MSCA-PF proposal, analysing the different sections that make up the form, the mistakes to avoid and the strengths of a successful proposal.
