Dear Researchers, Representatives from Academia, Industry, and Civil Society Organizations,
Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF) 2025 call will be launched by the European Commission on 8 May 2025 and will close on 10 September 2025. Aiming to support the career development of researchers holding a PhD degree, this call encourages international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral mobility. Individual project applications from all research fields are supported, with no thematic limitations.
Also, Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks (MSCA Doctoral Networks) 2025 call will open on 28 May 2025 and close on 25 November 2025. This call aims to train researchers who have not yet obtained a doctoral degree (doctoral candidates) through innovative research project proposals, again without thematic restrictions.
For Horizon Europe MSCA Staff Exchanges 2025 call, which was opened on 27 March 2025, the European Commission will accept applications until 8 October 2025. The Staff Exchanges call aims to foster the transfer of knowledge, technology, and experience between sectors and countries through the exchange of research, technical, and administrative staff between Turkiye and countries both within and outside Europe.
To cover all those MSCA calls and more, the “MSCA 2025 Calls Conference” organized annually by TÜBİTAK National Contact Points, will be held physically this year in two different cities of Turkiye:
📍 8 May 2025, Thursday – TÜBİTAK Feza Gürsey Conference Hall, Ankara

On both days of the conference, comprehensive information will be provided on the following MSCA calls:

MSCA Doctoral Networks (DN)
MSCA Staff Exchanges (SE)
MSCA COFUND
MSCA and Citizens
At the conference, a representative from the European Commission – Research Executive Agency (REA) will provide direct information and answer questions. Success stories from researchers who were successful in previous calls will be presented, and experts who have served as evaluators in the MSCA evaluation processes will share their experiences.
Information will also be provided about TÜBİTAK’s MSCA Support Programs, National Contact Points Services, and the EURAXESS Network.
