MSCA funds 16 projects to strengthen long-term research careers in Europe

An overview of the evaluation results, cut-off scores and statistics has been published on the MSCA Choose Europe for Science 2025 call page of the Funding and Tenders Opportunities Portal.

A list with all funded projects and coordinating organisations is available in CIRCABC. Please note that this list reflects the results of the evaluation before the Grant Agreement Preparation and formal selection decision.

Once grant agreements are finalised, the complete list of funded projects will be published on the same page and on CORDIS.

Opportunities for researchers

The first positions funded under this call are expected to be published on EURAXESS from September 2026 to early 2027.

Researchers will be able to apply directly to recruiting institutions.

Next steps

Applicants can access the evaluation results via their personal space on the Funding and Tenders Opportunities Portal.

Grant agreements for successful projects are expected to be signed in June and July 2026, with the first projects starting from August 2026.

Reinforcing Europe's attractiveness

The Choose Europe for Science pilot represents an important step in the MSCA's efforts to make Europe a more attractive destination for researchers.

By combining excellent working conditions with concrete long-term career opportunities, the initiative contributes to retaining and attracting top talent and strengthening Europe's position as a global hub for research and innovation.

Next funding round coming soon

The next MSCA Choose Europe for Science 2027 call will open on 8 December 2026 in parallel with the MSCA COFUND doctoral call. More information will be available soon.
