Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowships are European research grants available to researchers regardless of their nationality or field of research. In addition to generous research funding scientists have the possibility to gain experience abroad and in the private sector, and to complete their training with competences or disciplines useful for their careers.
The Marie Sklodowska-Curie programme aims to foster innovation, research-business cooperation and also includes a strong international component based on the principle of mobility.
The MSCA provides funding for all stages of research careers, being doctoral candidates or highly experienced researchers and by ensuring good working conditions and work/life balance for the researchers.
The programme is open to all fields of research and innovation, from fundamental research to market take-up and innovation services. Furthermore, it also encourages mobility between the different sectors (universities, research centres, and companies), disciplines and countries.
There are five types of Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions:

The Horizon2020 twinning project ScreenME has as its objective to enhance excellence in screen media entrepreneurship at Tallinn University (TLU). To do so, ScreenME has established a network of universities across Europe that aim to improve research into and teaching of entrepreneurship for the screen media industry. ScreenME will develop a teaching course and will kick off research initiatives and projects on entrepreneurial activities in media organisations. The research group on ‘Studies in Media, Innovation and Technology (SMIT)’ of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is partner in the network and is involved in two cross-cutting activities of the project: support for early stage researchers and developing stakeholder involvement.
