Horizon 2020 Marie S Curie Actions
8 ICFOnians have been invited to Grant Agreement preparation
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) provide grants for all stages of researchers' careers - be they doctoral candidates or highly experienced researchers - and encourage transnational, inter-sectorial and interdisciplinary mobility. The MSCA enable research-focused organizations to host talented foreign researchers and to create strategic partnerships with leading institutions worldwide.
The MSCA aim to equip researchers with the necessary skills and international experience for a successful career, either in the public or the private sector. The program responds to the challenges sometimes faced by researchers, offering them attractive working conditions and the opportunity to move between academic and other settings.
In the most recent call, eight ICFOnians have been been favorably evaluated and invited to prepare the Grant Agreement for their Marie Curie applications, putting ICFO’s success rate in this highly competitive call to above 50%.
Congratulations to Jan Kolodynski (Quantum information theory group), Ana Asenjo (Theoretical quantum-nano photonics group), Pierrick Cheiney (Quantum optics theory and Ultracold quantum gases groups), Jason Otterstrom (Advanced fluorescence imaging and biophysics group), Ricardo Jimenez (Quantum information with cold atoms and non-classical light group), David Paredes (Quantum photonics with solids and atoms group) and soon to arrive ICFOnians in the groups led by Professors Gerasimos Konstantatos and Niek van Hulst for their successful applications.
