Crazy increase in proposals for postdoctoral fellowships!
ec.europa.eu
European Commission @ec.europa.eu · 28d
The 2025 call for #MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships drew 17,058 applications worldwide.

A 64.6% increase from 2024, it's the most popular call in over four decades.

Excellence thrives where it is enabled, protected and shared — and Europe provides that environment.

Definitely to present a groundbreaking idea that needs complementary competences, maybe across disciplines. ERC Grants are not collaboration projects as such, but pioneering the frontiers of research with one or more excellent PIs.
