  • Intra-European Fellowships (IEF)
  • International Outgoing Fellowships (IOF)
  • International Incoming Fellowships (IIF)

The Intra-European Fellowship scheme targets experienced researchers seeking to enhance their individual competence and acquire new skills at an interdisciplinary level. Under certain conditions, European nationals established in Australia are eligible to conduct the project in a host European institution.

International Outgoing Fellowships aim to reinforce the international dimension of European researchers by giving them the opportunity to work in a high-level research organisation in a third country. The Marie Curie IOF provides financial support to a European fellow completing a research and training project for 1 or 2 years (typically 18 months) in an Australian institution then returning to the European host institution for 12 months. The fellowship covers a stipend for the duration of the project, overheads for the project administration, travel and limited funding for other research activities.

The International Incoming Fellowship scheme is addressed at top-class researchers active in third countries, who would like to work on research projects and share their knowledge with colleagues in Europe. Ultimately, the goal is to develop mutually beneficial research cooperation between Europe and third countries. The Marie Curie IIF provides financial support to an Australian fellow taking a research and training project to an host institution in Europe for 1 to 2 years. The fellowship covers a stipend for the duration of the project, overheads for the project administration, travel and limited funding for other research activities.

Important to consider:

  • All disciplines of research are covered by the scheme.
  • Success rates for MCIOF was of 25% during last round, and for MCIIF was 21% during the 2008 round (26% for fellows going to Australia) but varies across disciplinary panel.
  • The schemes are open to researchers at all career stages. The candidate needs to justify of 4 years of research experience or a doctorate degree at the time of submission.
  • The new Marie Curie website is a good source of information about the scheme: cordis.europa.eu/fp7/mariecurieactions.

  6. Dear Sir.

    I have the great honor and pleasure to write to you for the first time.
    Please let me introduce myself. I am Mohamed Ghazaly working in Oncology Unit, General Surgery Department, Faculty of medicine, Tanta University, Egypt as Assistant lecturer in the field of general surgery. I had M.Sc. With general grade Excellent April 2007 Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, Egypt in general surgery. I am working now in the field of liver transplant, here in Egypt, and my phd thesis is about liver transplant. I am writing to you asking if you accept me for doing PhD work (proposal project). I’m looking forward to get a sholarship in the field of liver resection, transplant, or any related interventions and research. My CV is involved here as an attachment. I will be happy to be involved with any running projects in your institute. I hope that you accept me as a Ph. D. student in your institute. You are really supporting me to obtain a scholarship, and doing me and whole Egypt which suffer from liver disease a great favour. If a Phd scholarship is not available, a research and clinical training for one or two years even without a resulting degree would be fine. I am hopefully asking what about fund? As i do not have fund at present time, minimal fund would be ok. I hope you could help me about that.
    Thank you very much and I am waiting for your kind reply.
    Many thanks in advance
    Faithfully: Mohamed Ghazaly
