MSCA COFUND 2024: Webinar about co-funding of programmes for doctoral and post-doctoral candidates

Norwegian R&I institutions can strengthen their programmes for doctoral and post-doctoral training through the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions COFUND action. This webinar is primarily directed towards decision makers at institutional level and others who would like to have extra funding for  early-career fellowship programmes.   

The co-financing of fellowship programmes is not widely used or known in Norway, or what the COFUND activity under MSCA entails. In the webinar, you will get a grip on whether COFUND is an opportunity for your institution or not. 

The webinar will be held in English
