Marie Curie Fellowships provide European placements for pre- and post-doctoral researchers, usually up to the age of 35, and for experienced researchers. Fellowships are available in any scientific discipline that contributes to the objectives of the Fifth Framework Programme (FP5). Applicants to this activity are young and experienced researchers and host organisations in academia and industry. General information and vacancies for young researchers are available through the European Community .

Marie Curie Fellowships support the training and mobility of researchers throughout Europe. This scheme is focused on the provision of post-doctoral level research training. However, there are also opportunities for pre-doctoral level training, as well as for the transfer of expertise via senior researchers. Fellowships can be located in academic and industrial settings in EU Member and Associated States. To participate, researchers are required to go to another country to carry out their training.
