A total of 585 applications from researchers with a Swedish host department were assessed. 360 of these have a grade of 85 or higher, which corresponds to a Seal of Excellence.

Some of those who have received this seal of quality but have not received funds from the EU may, based on their grade, receive funds from the Swedish Research Council through our responsibility as the National Contact Point (NCP) for MSCA.

Please note:

• It is the organisation hosting the project – the administrating organisation – that is offered this opportunity.
• The Swedish Research Council will contact the organisations concerned.
• The administrating organisation must be approved by the Swedish Research Council.
• In addition to our general grant conditions, specific EU terms and conditions also apply.
• The grant period is 12–24 months, depending on the period applied for in the original application to the EU.
• Funds are paid out as a standard amount.
