Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND Schemes

We operate a suite of interlinked research funding schemes which includes Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND fellowships for experienced researchers.

To date, including our predecessors the Irish Research Council for Humanities and Social Sciences and the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology, we have managed the following COFUND programmes:

• CAROLINE (current)
• ELEVATE (past)
• CARA (past)
• INSPIRE (past)

What our fellows say about their experience

“An international secondment for the first two years of the fellowship laid the groundwork for collaboration with pioneering researchers in my field of study, and offered me numerous opportunities to demonstrate my own research in diverse settings.”
ELEVATE MSCA Fellow

“COFUND has given a policy dimension to my research. Based on my international experience, I have been in a position to offer advice to national legislators, policy-makers, political parties, interest groups and the media.”
