MSCA COFUND 2026

About this program

The European Commission’s Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) COFUND 2026 supports new or existing doctoral and postdoctoral programmes through co-funding based on researcher-month allowances. Programmes should promote international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary training and researcher mobility, with an indicative budget of €105.46 million and a provisional deadline of 8 April 2026. Eligible applicants are organisations proposing doctoral or postdoctoral schemes, which may be open to all disciplines or aligned with specific fields and regional or national smart-specialisation strategies. Proposed programmes must provide sufficient flexibility for researchers to define their research topics and may leverage synergies with Cohesion policy funds.
