MSCA Postdocs Bootcamp 2022
The MSCA Postdoc Bootcamp is an on-site workshop offered to applicants who apply with KI as Host Organization. In this workshop we break down detailed parts of the award criteria and also discuss how to set up your proposal with KI as your host. Both fellows who apply themselves or PIs recruiting a fellow can attend the Bootcamp.
New structure for Bootcamp 2022
The Bootcamp is structured so that Session 1 (one whole day) provides you with a basic structure how to build up your proposal, you then write the proposal during the summer and attend the rest of the sessions after the summer to add and polish details. We strongly recommend that you attend all sessions of the Bootcamp.
Invited speakers are Vladimir Pabon-Martinez, KI Career Service for Courses and Career events, Nikolaos Volakakis, KI Compliance and Data Office for Data Management Plan, Tamsin Lindström, KI Grants Office for Sex and Gender aspects as well as MSCA fellows.
To register for the Bootcamp see criteria and documents below. You must have found a PI at KI who has agreed to host you, get the KI Application Assurance signed by your PI, Head of Admin and Head of Department.Please take into account that it takes time for the administration to check operational and financial capacity of your PI and therefore several days to sign the KI Application Assurance form. You need to also have set up your application account EU application portal. See How to create a draft proposal and other info on MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships.
You may need VPN to access the documents if outside KI. If you are an incoming fellow to KI and cannot access the internal documents, email me.
