MSCA-PF Proposal Bootcamp

Walk in with a draft outline. Walk out with a state-of-the-art section written, a methodology checked, a career-development plan that scores, and a free pre-submission evaluation.

Book my seat — EUR 350


Event Details

Date: Tuesday, 9 June 2026
Time: 09:30 – 13:00 CET
Format: Live workshop on Zoom
Price: EUR 350


Why Attend

MSCA-PF proposals are evaluated across three major blocks: Excellence, Impact, and Implementation. Most unsuccessful proposals lose points in the same areas — weak career-development planning and insufficient supervisor engagement.

This bootcamp gives you three and a half hours of live proposal work with direct evaluator-style feedback from a trainer who has scored MSCA-PF proposals for more than eight years.

You do not leave with theory. You leave with:

  • A stronger structure

  • Evaluator-ready wording

  • A practical final-week submission checklist

  • A free in-depth evaluation before submission

This is live editing, not a lecture.


Is This For You?

A good fit if you are:

  • A postdoctoral researcher within 8 years of your PhD planning a 12–24 month fellowship

  • A supervisor or research office preparing 1–3 host applications for the September 2026 call

  • Ready to bring at least your research question and a draft outline

Not the right fit if:

  • You have not yet selected a host institution

  • You are still testing project or mobility fit

In that case, the introductory webinar is the better starting point.


What You Walk Out With

01 — State-of-the-Art & Gap Analysis

A clear and evaluator-focused positioning of your research area, written together during the session.

02 — Methodology Checklist

A framework ensuring your methodology scores as both rigorous and feasible.

03 — Career-Development Plan Template

A practical structure designed to maximise scoring potential in the training and career-development sections.

04 — Supervisor-Letter Language

Proven wording that demonstrates genuine supervisor commitment and institutional engagement.

05 — DEI & Gender Plan

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender dimensions written in evaluator-aligned language.

06 — Final-Week Submission Checklist

A practical checklist covering the final proposal review phase before submission.
