The MSCA Choose Europe for Science pilot scheme aims to increase the attractiveness of European research careers by addressing precarity and offering excellent working conditions, turning the current challenge of brain drain in the R&I sector into brain gain.
Choose Europe for Science will support projects in which academic and non-academic organisations recruit postdoctoral researchers with a vision to employment beyond the project period. The main novelty of the initiative is that organisations will also be selected based on their offers of longer-term professional perspectives.
The Choose Europe for Science call will open on 1 October 2025 and close on 3 December 2025. Potential applicants can look out for relevant info sessions in the lead up to the call.
