MSCA EF MASTER CLASS 2020 @ POLIMI

Politecnico di Milano is launching the third edition of the Master Class (MSCA EF MASTER CLASS 2020 @ POLIMI) for potential applicants to the MSCA - European Individual Fellowship call 2020.

The aim of the call is to attract and train young and talented researchers to successfully applying for MSCA European Fellowship with the Politecnico di Milano as host institution.

Candidates will be pre-selected based on their expression of interest, CV and motivation. Promising candidates will be invited to attend an in depth training course on the proposal writing through online webstreaming (10-11 June 2020), to have a virtual meeting with their supervisors and to make use of full support in the application writing process by POLIMI advisors.

Candidate fellows and supervisors will be guided throughout the whole application process with deadline on 9^th September 2020. Only those who get funding through the European Commission’s MSCA IF program will be admitted to Politecnico di Milano.

Applications are open for the published 34 “Supervisors’ project proposals”.
